Santa María de Betancuria
The weatherworn colonial church of Santa María de Betancuria, known for its striking whitewashed exterior and intricate wooden accents, was built in the early 15th century as the island's main church when Betancuria was the capital. It was almost completely destroyed by Berbers in 1593 and then rebuilt. Outside Mass times, the church has no official opening hours, though weekday mornings are often a safe bet.
