The military phase of the Castilian conquest of Tenerife ended on 25 July 1496 by the Barranco de Godínez, in Los Realejos, where the conquerors had set up their military camp (the 'Real') and where they erected a church to Santiago Apóstol in thanksgiving; the event is considered the founding act of Realejo Alto.
