Iglesia de San Pío X (Todoque)

[2][3] The church, erected after the end of the postwar period by the inhabitants of the town themselves and located on land donated by a neighbor of the area, presented a simple facade framed in the popular Canarian architectural style, although with a clear Mudejar influence.

With a gabled roof with prominent buttresses and enclosed windows, to the left of the main facade was the bell tower, with a square plan and two sections with a balcony, a clock and a conical dome with an octagonal base surmounted by a cross.

Of great ornamental simplicity, the main chapel, decorated with an altarpiece, had a rectangular floor plan and was located behind a semicircular arch supported by inlaid columns with a square base.

On 19 September 2021, an eruption began in the pine forest called Cabeza de Vaca, in the municipality of El Paso,[4] leaving the church that same day within the security perimeter established by the authorities.

[9] Affected by the lava, at 5:55 p.m. on 26 September, the bell tower of the temple collapsed on itself, an event broadcast live by the BTC Connection program of Radio Televisión Canaria[5] and also recorded by several amateur videographers.
