Iglesia de San Bartolomé, en Tejina

The Church of San Bartolomé de Tejina, located in Tejina, in the municipality of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife island (Canary Islands, Spain) is a temple of three naves separated by arches cut in stonework on Tuscan pillars of square section, highlighting the robust half-point toral arch that separates the main nave from the presbytery, raised on steps, like the main chapel.

The coffered ceilings that cover the three naves are of pair and knuckle, without decoration, except in the double braces with light decoration of lacería that reinforce the walls. The three chapels of the headboard have coffered ceilings with lacería decoration in the almizate.

On the outside, the main facade shows a certain asymmetry with the body of the bulrush in stonework separating the central nave of the Epistle, with a double arch of half a point for bells.

The main cover in stonework rises on a curved staircase, while on the sides an oculus stands out, and on the opposite side the volume of the tower, with three bodies, topped by a sharp spire. The exterior walls of masonry have prominences in ashlar masonry translating externally the chapels and the corners of the temple, opening several semi-circular windows and small windows that are rhythmically distributed on the walls. On the side of the Epistle a second cover presents a semicircular arch finished off by a triangular pediment.

The ships have independent roofs of Arab tile to two waters, whereas the respective chapels show three skirts (the lateral ones) and four the greater one, to greater height.
