Betancuria Museum of Sacred Art is located in Betancuria, Fuerteventura.
Betancuria is the old capital of the island which in the past was governed from there. Hidden in a valley to prevent pirate attacks from the African continent this picturesque colonial town offers a glimpse into Fuerteventura’s past.
Betancuria was founded in 1404 during the conquest led by the Norman, Jean de Béthencourt.
