This temple throughout its history was enriched by the Popes with indulgences which are granted to the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome.

[1] Next to the Royal Shrine is the Plaza del Cristo de La Laguna, the largest square of the city.

The back wall is occupied by a large silver altarpiece with a central niche on the bottom of carved wood and gold cross rests with the image of Christ.

It was December 19, 1906, by King Alfonso XIII, on a visit to the archipelago together with the Marines, María Teresa de Borbón y Fernando of Bavaria.

In 2008, the temple wore a huge flag of Vatican City to commemorate the centenary of the "Title Pontifical" granted by the Pope in Rome in 1908 to the Pontificia, Real y Venerable Esclavitud del Santísimo Cristo de La Laguna, the Brotherhood of Cristo de La Laguna.
