Iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel

Like many other religious centers on the island of Fuerteventura the Iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel of Tuineje built under the initiative of the villagers. This work begins in 1695 as a hermitage and a year later the bishop don Bernardo de Vicuña y Zuazo signed the decree authorizing the construction of the church. The work lasted several years and was finally completed in 1702 when it was opened to worship.

In its beginnings the church had a single nave, consisted of a sacristy and was surrounded by a crenellated wall, although it lacked a main chapel. Throughout the time the church had constant reforms, in 1764 the main chapel was built and later in 1782 the church was enlarged with a second nave, giving rise to the aspect it currently has. Noteworthy is its main altarpiece, made of wood and believed to have been carved by Juan Bautista Bolaños back in 1740.

The church has an image of San Miguel Arcángel
