The Cathedral of Santa Maria de Betancuria
This church is among the most important historical buildings in Fuerteventura. It was originally built around the 15 th century with a Norman-gothic architectural style.

Inside the church are remarkable artifacts such as the choir stand, the baptistery, the baroque pieces and an imposing Mudejar-coffered ceiling.
The church also boasts its own museum known as Museo de Arte Sacro.
