Puerto del Rosario is the capital of Fuerteventura, but it has only held this status since 1860. The second largest island in the Canary archipelago was conquered by the Normans in 1404 under the command of Juan de B\u00e9thencourt. His troops settled in the mountainous heart of the island to protect their settlement from possible attacks and to establish themselves permanently, taking advantage of the availability of fresh water to sustain livestock and agricultural activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They named the city Betancuria, and little by little it prospered. More settlers began to arrive, along with civil, religious, and military authorities, expanding its sphere of influence. However, in 1593 Betancuria was completely destroyed by pirates from Africa. Despite the successful reconstruction efforts, the city began to decline and lost power compared to other enclaves, which led to the capital being moved from Betancuria to La Oliva, then to La Antigua, and later to Puerto del Rosario, now one of the main cultural hubs of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Betancuria<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAfter becoming one of the most important colonial landmarks in the Canary Islands, Betancuria continues to be one of the most touristic places in Fuerteventura, despite having fewer than 800 inhabitants. The main attraction is seeing what life was like for the first settlers on the island and how they managed to survive in an exotic environment. That is why visiting the Museum of Sacred Art and the Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum of Fuerteventura is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The colonial town is recognized as a historical complex and offers spectacular views of the churches of Santa Mar\u00eda \u2013the first cathedral of the islands\u2013 and La Concepci\u00f3n, as well as the hermitages of Santa In\u00e9s and Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Pe\u00f1a, and the former Franciscan convent of San Buenaventura. After walking through its streets, we recommend trying typical local dishes such as rabbit in salmorejo or kid goat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Puerto](\"https:\/\/www.lopesan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Puerto-del-Rosario-Fuerteventura.webp\")
Puerto del Rosario is the current capital of Fuerteventura and an important cultural center.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nPuerto del Rosario<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIn the streets of Puerto del Rosario you can feel art and culture, as well as Canary Island tradition. And it even smells appetizing, as its gastronomic offerings liven up the atmosphere. The current capital of the island has key must-visit spots if you are touring the region, such as the Unamuno House Museum, where you can explore his work, life, and relationships during his exile. Also worth visiting is the Ecomuseum La Alcogida, where restored houses show how the first inhabitants of the island lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During your walk through the capital of Fuerteventura, do not forget to stop at the sculpture park, which features more than 50 works; the Church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Rosario, dating from the early 20th century; or the Interpretation Center of the Lime Kilns of El Charco, where you can learn about the importance of lime production in the island\u2019s historical development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Important municipalities in the history of Fuerteventura<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe island has a fascinating history within it, which leads us to highlight two municipalities of special historical importance. Let\u2019s see what two key points marked on the map of Fuerteventura have to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La Oliva<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIt is framed by natural wonders such as the Corralejo Dunes and Mount Tindaya. Located in the north of the island, on a vast plain, it is composed of stately buildings that transport us to the past. The sense of power experienced between 1836 and 1860 is still present, when La Oliva became the capital of Fuerteventura after the decline of Betancuria due to its political, economic, and social importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most notable places to see in La Oliva if you are visiting include the Casa de los Coroneles, an 18th-century barracks with colonial architecture; the Church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Candelaria, from the 17th century; and the Casa de la Cilla, built in 1819, which now houses the Grain Museum as a reminder of the area\u2019s agricultural past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La Antigua<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLocated in the heart of the island, Antigua serves as a gateway to the past for visitors, allowing them to understand the intricacies of Fuerteventura\u2019s history. It is a meeting point for tradition and deeply rooted culture that should be enjoyed slowly, so it is recommended to walk through its streets at a leisurely pace to appreciate every detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Especially its architecture, visible in landmarks such as the Church of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de Antigua or the Sanctuary of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de Guadalupe. However, what may capture the most attention is the Antigua Mill, a symbol of the local culture as it represents the traditional economy and the livelihood of the families who lived on the island, until tourism began to be developed as the main economic driver in the 1960s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you have seen, the Canary Islands offer much more than exclusive beaches, dreamlike landscapes, a privileged climate, and a unique leisure offer. They also provide an opportunity to dive into their fascinating history and learn how their people survived pirate and corsair attacks, as happened when the capital of Fuerteventura moved across much of the island before finally settling in Puerto del Rosario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
