In the heart of Betancuria you'll find the ruins of the Convento de San Buenaventura, a former Franciscan convent founded in the 17th century that played a key role in the religious and cultural life of the island. This convent, linked to the first diocese of the Canary Islands, housed a community of Franciscan friars for centuries, leaving a lasting mark on Fuerteventura's history.

Today the remains of the building survive, including volcanic stone walls, arches and part of the cloister. These remnants allow you to appreciate the convent architecture of the period and understand the importance of this site in the island's former capital. Its location in Betancuria's historic center makes it an ideal stop if you're exploring the town and visiting the Church of Santa María or the Museum of Sacred Art.

Although not a complete structure, the ruins evoke Fuerteventura's colonial and religious past. You can freely access the outer grounds and view the structure from outside, appreciating the contrast between the ancient stonework and the mountainous surroundings of Betancuria.
