Casa Alvarado-Bracamonte

Iconic BuildingsWhat to see and do

Within the historic heart of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, the Casa Alvarado-Bracamonte stands as a living testimony to Canarian aristocratic power from the 17th century. Commissioned in 1624 by Diego Alvarado Bracamonte, captain general, this stately residence popularly known as Casa de los Capitanes passed through various noble hands before being acquired by the City Council.

What captivates those who cross its threshold is the spectacular Canarian interior courtyard, an architectural space preserving original elements from the XVII century. The red stone decorating its façade anticipates the elegance awaiting inside, where columns and corridors transport visitors to the era of splendor enjoyed by Tenerife's most influential families.

Declared a Cultural Interest Asset since 1981, it currently houses the municipal Historical Heritage departments and a tourist information office. Access to the courtyard is free, allowing visitors to appreciate traditional Canarian architecture at its finest. Occasionally hosting small exhibitions that enrich the cultural experience, this manor house becomes a meeting point between past and present in this UNESCO World Heritage city.
