Torrehermosa Marquis House (Casa de los Marqueses de Torrehermosa)

The Torrehermosa Marquis House was built in 1736 and is one of the old town’s prominent elite residences. Its later history connects La Laguna’s aristocratic domestic architecture with the beginnings of modern tourism on Tenerife.

In 1885 the building was transformed into the Gran Hotel Aguere Continental, among the island’s earliest hotels. Today its long hospitality history makes it an unusual bridge between 18th-century urban society and the growth of visitor travel in the 19th century.
