Although Betancuria is the least populated municipality of Canarias, it offers visitors some monuments of great value. Among these monuments is the Museum of Sacred Art of Betancuria, its rooms house an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures, priestly garments and a wide variety of goldsmith's pieces that represent in a very interesting way the sacred art on the island.

Even though the Museum of Sacred Art of Betancuria is small, it houses pieces of worship that belonged to the parish since its foundation back in the 15th century.

Walking around the Betancuria area you will arrive at the museum through the Mayor Carmelo Silvena street. The building is perfectly seen since it was an old house, which stands out for the tiles of its external roof and wood inwards. Another of the elements that draw attention when you see the facade, is the balcony located on the main door of the enclosure and thanks to a staircase gives access to the interior from the street. Also striking is the dark-colored stonework that is in the corners of the exterior walls.

Before becoming the Museum of Sacred Art, the building was the residence of ecclesiastical beneficiaries, as well as religious authorities of the local parish. The pieces exhibited in the museum come from hermitages and churches throughout the island of Fuerteventura.

The surroundings of the Museum of Sacred Art is also a very interesting place, garden areas, a pleasant walk to the access and a nearby park are some of the elements that visitors will find before accessing the building. An ideal place to deepen part of the artistic work offered by the island of Fuerteventura.

The Betancuria Archaeological Museum is located in the Roberto Roldan Street, it is easily recognized because the entrance is flanked by two canons that were used to fight against pirate invasions that Fuerteventura suffered during the 15th century. The idea of creating an archaeological museum in the town is based on the donation of a piece of the old mahos, who were the first settlers of the island (it should be noted that the island was named Mahoh that wants say my country) and that they met by chance in a majestic field. The initiative is launched by a neighbor of Betancuria called Vicente Ruiz, who was collecting and ordering all the materials they were finding.

The paleontological wealth of the island is unquestionable and can be observed from the first moment they enter the premises. You can see photographs of the places where the aboriginal settlements were, models of them and of course there are exposed remains of ceramics, tools and tiles made with mollusks or bones.

The facilities of the Archaeological Museum of Betancuria also show how the ancient settlers worshiped religious pain and as an example that demonstrates these adorations, figures made of stones are exhibited. To this is added the information about the mountain of Tindaya with its podomorphs as the basis of the mgico-religious world of the ancient majoneros.

There is also the possibility to learn the techniques of grazing and fishing of the first settlers as well as how they get the precious water or how they fed the mahos.

The information is completed thanks to the explanatory sheets that can be read by the different rooms of the archaeological museum and where the ethnographic elements used by the majoneros until a few years ago, take center stage and They serve to close the tour of the different rooms of this very interesting center.
