Casa De La Alhóndiga

What to see and doIconic Buildings

Within the historic center of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, the Casa de la Alhóndiga stands as a building that narrates the administrative and social history of this World Heritage city. Built around 1709 during the reign of Philip V, a plaque above its entrance commemorates its Bourbon origins, when the structure served as a public granary, an essential service for supplying the population and regulating grain trade.

Located on Calle Obispo Rey Redondo, it becomes a natural stop when exploring the former capital, where its colorful facade forms part of a harmonious architectural ensemble alongside other historic houses. Today it functions as a cultural space and houses municipal offices, maintaining the tradition of public service that defined its beginning.

Walking past the Casa de la Alhóndiga means diving into La Laguna's urban memory. Its traditional Canarian architecture and historical significance make it a privileged witness to Tenerife's social and economic development since the 18th century.
