Lonely Planet review for Iglesia de San Juan

This extraordinary, neo-Gothic church stands watch sullenly over the bright, white houses of Arucas in a striking display of disproportion. The church has a Sagrada Familia (Gaudi) look with its elaborate pointed spires, and was, fittingly, designed by a Catalan architect.

Construction started in 1906 on the site of a former ermita, and was completed some 70 years later. Within, a fine 16th-century Italian Crucifixion hangs above the altar; the wooden Cristo Yacente (Reclining Christ) is similarly impressive, together with three magnificent rose windows.
