Iglesia El Salvador

The Church or Parish of El Salvador is located in the municipality of La Matanza de Acentejo in the northern part of the island of Tenerife . The temple is of recent construction, of the twentieth century and has received several reforms, perhaps the most important came after in 1936 a group of anarchists set fire to the church. After this incident the church was razed and the current one was built on the ruins of the previous one. It was named parish in 1965 by the bishop Antonio Carroneiro.

Although the temple was rebuilt, it is more than 400 years old, almost more than the town of La Matanza since the church was first built and then the municipality was built, back in 1615.

The most outstanding image that can be found in the facilities is the size of El Salvador, San José and Virgen del Rosario made by Mariano Benllure.
