This church was built upon the first chapel erected by the Spanish conquistadors after landing on the coast where they would later build the city.

The Iglesia de la Concepción is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary.

The church houses the image of St. James[1] (patron saint of Santa Cruz de Tenerife).

There is also a relic of St. Clement I, Pope and Martyr, donated by the Patriarch of Antioch, Mr. Sidotti.

[2] The church possesses is a small Gothic fifteenth-century image of Our Lady of Consolation (historical patron saint of Santa Cruz de Tenerife), of historical merit, the same as the one Alonso Fernández de Lugo placed in the hermitage of that name.
