Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Regla

What to see and do Churches and Cathedrals

In the heart of Pájara village, at 8 Calle de Regla, stands the Church of Our Lady of Regla, a Catholic temple and one of the main historical and architectural landmarks in Fuerteventura. Its façade draws attention for its unique decoration on the island: a reddish stone portal with carved geometric and symbolic motifs that blend Aztec, Moorish, and Christian influences, an unusual style in the archipelago.

The church dates back to the 17th century, though it has undergone several restorations over the centuries. Inside, you'll find a sober and intimate space featuring Baroque altarpieces, religious statues, and paintings that reflect centuries of devotion. The main altarpiece, dedicated to the Virgin of Regla, is one of the most prominent elements within the ensemble.

The church is part of the parish network of Pájara municipality and continues to serve as a place of worship. Its location in the old town makes it a starting point for exploring the cobbled streets of this inland village in Fuerteventura.
