Located in the historic town of Betancuria, this small museum houses a collection of religious artifacts, paintings, and sculptures from the 15th to 18th centuries. The exhibits showcase the island's rich Catholic heritage and the influence of Spanish colonization.
Visitors appreciate the well-preserved religious items and the historical context provided. The museum is noted for its intimate setting, allowing for a close-up view of the artworks.
