The council in La Laguna has begun the process to study the feasibility of erecting an artistic work to remember the Pontiff's stay, which occurred on June 12th. The initiative aims to link this future sculpture to the message of integration and welcome towards migrants that the Pope conveyed during his trip to the Archipelago.
This sculpture would add to the city's artistic heritage and would be the second public work dedicated to a Pope in La Laguna. The municipality has had a bronze statue honoring John Paul II since 2012, located near the iconic Iglesia de la Concepción.
“"The intention of the Consistory is that this new artistic work reflects and is directly linked to the message of integration and welcome to migrants that the Pontiff himself expressed during his trip to the Archipelago."
