About Church of San Juan Bautista, Arucas

The Church of San Juan Bautista or Arucas Church, is a Catholic church located in the old town of Arucas, in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. Construction began on 19 March 1909, and took over 68 years. The church was opened for public worship in 1917, but the construction continued until 1977, when the church was completed. Due to the large dimensions, it is usually referred to as The Arucas Cathedral even though it is not a cathedral.
