Architecture In Santa Cruz
If we were to count the last four years of the 15th Century (following the conquest in 1496) and the six years, so far, of this century, there are, potentially, seven centuries whose architectural richness can be enjoyed in Tenerife and, especially in its capital of Santa Cruz.
Stroll off the sides of the Rambla General Franco and you will see many fine examples, including some gorgeous Art Deco style buildings that would not look out of place in South Beach, Miami.
Here is another delicious eye candy set from Jose Mesa (see his photos from the Fiestas de la Cruz), which shows a selection of seven architectural periods or styles from the 18th and 19th Centuries, through; eclecticism, rationalism, Neo-Canarian, and the periods of the 60-70's and 80-90's.
