Abstract

Currently the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife continues immersed in its regenerative metamorphosis. One of its neighbourhoods, El Cabo, underwent enormous changes agreed upon in the first general urban planning plan that restructured its disorderly plot of post-conquest origins (1496). It disappeared to be reborn, eliminating all the working-class houses, as well as some streets, leaving three buildings standing: The Hospital of Our Lady of the Forsaken (1749), the San Carlos barracks (1875) and the hermitage of San Telmo (early century xvi). The demolition, construction and rehabilitation work began in 1963 and did not stop until the recent 2022
