HistoricCulture & Heritage

History & background

Bigot House was built in 1654 for Claudio Bigot, a merchant from Rouen who settled in Tenerife. The building is a reminder that La Laguna’s economy and society were connected to Atlantic trade networks far beyond the Canary Islands.

The three-storey residence is notable for its traditional timber details, including a carved wooden balcony. Commercial use at street level also reflects the close relationship between residence and business in early modern urban houses.
