The Governing Board of La Laguna City Council has granted, in its session held last Tuesday, a contract to the General Canarian Foundation of the University of La Laguna for the conservation and restoration service of the stone façade of the Casa del Corregidor, amounting to a total of 133,750 euros (including IGIC), with a timeframe of seven months for the completion of the work, as detailed in the documentation.

The municipal Works department had put the project out to tender last August. At that time, the mayor, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez (PSOE), emphasised that this task was one of the major commitments declared at the start of his tenure concerning heritage conservation. “As it represents one of the city’s heritage symbols, we aimed to be particularly meticulous when defining the technical criteria to ensure that we have professionals adept in restorations of this scale,” he remarked at that time.
According to the specifications, the project encompasses several phases of intervention, adhering to the guidelines included in the technical document attached to the tender, which was composed by a team of conservators-restorers, architects, and a historian, considering analyses conducted by the Cicop Foundation and those commissioned by GEA Geological Consulting and the company Petra Scopp, specialists in heritage restoration.
Furthermore, the documentation outlines the creation of a 1/5 scale wooden model of the Casa del Corregidor façade, and a comprehensive report will also be compiled, featuring photographic documentation from before, during, and after the project, along with a maintenance plan containing all necessary recommendations for its ongoing preventive conservation.

Since 2017, covered

The façade is part of the group of town hall residences that currently house the offices of La Laguna City Council and is notable for being the oldest Plateresque style façade still intact in the Canary Islands. This entrance, which once served as one of the town hall accesses, has remained closed since 2017 and is obscured by a structure covered with a canvas, which replicates the appearance of the entrance, awaiting its restoration. Various studies have revealed visible deterioration in the stone material, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts.
