History and culture in real estate: the oldest buildings in Tenerife
Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands, offers not only picturesque landscapes and a sunny climate, but also a rich history recorded in its architecture. The oldest buildings on the island bear witness to the eras that shaped its current character. Many of them were built in the 16th and 17th centuries, when Tenerife was an important trading point between Europe, Africa and America. These buildings have survived turbulent history, including earthquakes, fires and pirate raids, and today they are unique examples of old colonial architecture. Walking through the streets of historic towns, you can admire facades of houses decorated with wooden balconies, historic residences and temples, which are part of the Canarian cultural heritage.
