Complete collection of silver-plated arras coins from the fifth centenary of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (1494-1994).

"Thirteen sterling silver coins measuring 22 mm in diameter, engraved with the most characteristic historical symbols of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Minted exclusively for the Gaceta de Canarias, and presented in a noble wood case, they are a unique and unrepeatable edition, due to the destruction of the original molds before a notary.

The Arras of the Fifth Centenary will witness the marriage bond of the next generations."

1) Torre de la Concepción. "It began to be built shortly before 1500 and even in the middle of the 18th century it had not been completed. It was built in the same place where the altar had been erected by the conquerors on their first landing. It was later a hermitage and is known as by its current name of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción from 1636."

2) Farola del Mar. La Farola del Mar was commissioned in Paris from where it left for Tenerife in May 1862. It was installed on a 6.5 meter tower. It was an orientation beacon, with flashing light, classified as 6th order and had a range of nine miles. It was lit for the first time on December 31, 1863 and was extinguished on June 30, 1954."

The building is located on the site of the historic Recreation Park, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is one of the most modern buildings on the Island, due to its architectural conception and the nature of its materials. It consists of three blocks clad with natural stone from Tindaya (Fuerteventura).

6) Church of San Francisco. The current church is established in the place where the Ermita de la Soledad was located. Between 1760 and 1762 the second nave (of the Gospel) was manufactured. The Epistle nave was built between 1775 and 1778, with the main door dating from 1777. The church organ was built in 1781. The building was completed with the construction of the tower.

That same year Gumersindo Robayna painted and decorated the throne room located on the second floor.

10) Santa Cruz City Council. Located on a 2929 m2 plot and paid at 3 pesetas per m2. The initial project was conceived to be the headquarters of the Court Palace, but it was destined for the Town Hall. Its construction began in 1898 and on March 5, 1904, the first municipal services were moved.

11) Parliament of the Canary Islands. The building was designed by the architect Manuel Oraá y Arcocha. It was first the headquarters of the Santa Cecilia Philharmonic Society until 1901 when the Provincial Council bought it. In 1943 the Conservatory of Music was installed inside and currently it is the headquarters of the Parliament of the Canary Islands.

12) Hermitage of San Telmo. It is one of the oldest religious buildings in Santa Cruz. Its construction dates back to the mid-16th century. At first it was owned by the Fishermen's Guild and its patron was San Pedro González Telmo. Built in the popular Cabo neighborhood next to the Barranco de Santos, it housed the Cross of the Conquest until 1873 when it was handed over to the Church of San Francisco.

13) Tiger Canyon. One of the cannons that actively intervened against the English invasion in 1797. On July 24 of that same year, it is credited with the shot that tore off the arm of Admiral Nelson, head of the British squadron.
