The Mother Church of Our Lady of the Conception is in the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, located concretely between the places of La Concepción and Doctor Olivera. The situation of the temple was determined by the Adelantado Fernández de Lugo in 1496 after the celebration of the Corpus and it was in 1511 when the temple was founded and construction began. The works lasted for more than 30 years until finally it was inaugurated in 1558 although successively the church was enlarged.

The tower had several reforms throughout the centuries in 1577 and 1630 until it was finally finished between 1694 and 1697. Poor quality in both materials and construction means that it was rebuilt in 1738 and later in 1778.

After all the performances that the Church of Our Lady of the Conception received, it was finished with three naves separated by arches of half a point on columns of cylindrical shaft in red tuff and capitals. with varied decoration: gothic baquetones, masks etc.

In 1972 part of the roof collapsed and the restoration was not very successful, and finally it was in the year 2000 when a well-directed intervention allowed a better conservation and a remarkable improvement.

The importance of the temple led to the fact that in 1948 it was declared Artistic Historical Monument, and in 2012 Cultural Asset.
