The Masonic Temple of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is one of the main Masonic Temples in Spain, the first in the Canary Islands.
The temple building was built between 1899 and 1902 by order of the Anyas Masonic Lodge. On September 15, 1936, the building was requisitioned in accordance with the anti-Masonic decree of General Franco. Later it served as a warehouse for a military pharmacy, and barracks were located on the top floor. Currently, it has been given the status of a national architectural monument.
