Iglesia de San Pedro Apostol

The Church of San Pedro Apóstol de El Sauzal is one of the monuments that the inhabitants of this northern town of Tenerife feel most proud of. The beginning of the construction of the church of San Pedro Apóstol began in the 16th century, concretely in 1515, although the works that gave it the appearance it currently presents are of the XVIII and XIX centuries.

The Church of San Pedro Apóstol was the fourth that was built on the island and was Declared an Asset of Interest Cultural in the year 2005 and is dedicated to the patron of the municipality.

The tower of the church dates from the 18th century and has a quadrangular plan with black stone corners. Among the elements that can be seen inside it is worth mentioning its painting of souls, of which the author is not known, but which dates from the 18th century and is on the right side of the chapel. We must also mention the altarpieces and paintings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

The chapel of the epistle of the church is also one of those prominent places where you can see the image of Saint Peter the Apostle whose festival is celebrated at the end of June.
