The Cathedral of La Laguna is a Roman Catholic church in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, on the Spanish island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The church was designated a cathedral in 1818 and is the seat of the Diocese of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, which includes the islands of Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. The current building was constructed between 1904 and 1915 to replace an earlier building begun in 1515. The cathedral is located in the historic centre of La Laguna and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999 by UNESCO. It contains elements of several architectural styles and is noted for its Neoclassical facade, inspired by Pamplona Cathedral, as well as its dome, which stands out prominently in the city landscape. In the cathedral lie the remains of Alonso Fernández de Lugo, the conqueror of the island and founder of the La Laguna. This photograph shows one of the side chapels of the Cathedral of La Laguna, with a 6-metre-tall (20 ft) gilded reredos behind the altar. Constructed in the Baroque style in the first half of the 18th century, the reredos is the largest in the Canary Islands. The chapel is dedicated to the Virgin of Los Remedios, whose statue is in the central niche behind the altar. The reredos features seven paintings, attributed to Hendrick van Balen, depicting scenes from the lives of Jesus and Mary.

Dude, that's Allie, not Ali! - Alison^☺ 16:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was quite amusing, hope you're not growing dim! The amusing dude. Jumbos nemesis 17:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hope so, too! - Alison^☺ 17:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was the wrong side of sterling today and lost 300_G's. Nothing to do but write poetry. Now, not many people have poetry written about them. It was meant well, so sorry if it didn't go down too well. It was, I assure you written in an amicable frame of mind. Any, be well. Jumbos nemesis 17:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I never said it didn't go down well. It was kinda amusing all right :) I could use a little joy amidst the dirty job that adminship is, so I appreciate your poetry! So there. - Alison^☺ 17:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC) (has a sense of humour, y'know)[reply]

here - have a flower :) - Alison^☺ 19:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh thanks Allie, that's very kind of you. I wrote that in 3 or 4 minutes flat, and hardly reviewed it. So here it is with typos and punct....

Now that Ali's in Admin!
Is she growing kind of dim?
Don't see her 'round the usual corners,
Perhaps she's under Jimbo's orders,
And even FLIP did disappear,
Has gone out east as a volunteer!
I heard that the queen has joined the Wiki,
Please don't block her as she gets quite sticky,
So on with the typos, and keep your nose clean,
Admin's no fun, see what I mean?

I'll have to get away from this computer, and get some sunshine. You're doing admirable at admin. Rock on! --Jumbos nemesis 02:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)BTW, dim as in not seeing so much around the usual pages, not the other d. JN[reply]

There was a old dear on wiki,
Who regarded my edits as sicky,
So I sat down beside her,
Alongside some cider,
Now all of my edits are icky.

Bravo! - Alison^☺ 17:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt she's much of a poet, really. Probably in real life, she's very different than you imagine; a little boring, a little geeky, a little shy and probably from de rong soide of de river. But she has survived the unimaginable. Trust me sir, she's really not your type at all. Maybe - just maybe - she was touched by your love and humour & maybe - just maybe - she's been hurt a lot along the way through life. If only you knew. Whatever on that, I guess you must have made her laugh too (and maybe cry, too, ever so slightly). Who knows? But I think she'd probably want you to know that. - Dumbos nematodes 06:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She'd probably want you to have a flower too, no doubt. She's funny that way - Dumbos nematodes 06:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
