Sanatorio de Abona is one of Tenerife’s most intriguing abandoned landmarks. Built in the 1940s as a sanatorium for patients with leprosy, the complex was never fully completed after medical advances made the facility unnecessary.
Today, the unfinished buildings stand against the dramatic volcanic landscape and Atlantic coast, creating an eerie and fascinating glimpse into a forgotten chapter of Tenerife’s history.
