Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Antigua is a historic church on Calle Plaza in the quiet town of Antigua, central Fuerteventura. Inside, look for the painted altar wall, its figures and the carved timber ceiling. The church sits beside a leafy village square, so the visit pairs easily with a walk around town.
