Casa de los Coroneles, Fortified house in La Oliva, Spain
The Casa de los Coroneles features sixteen windows across two levels, wooden balconies, and four defensive towers at each corner of its square structure.
Built in 1750 by Ginés de Cabrera Bethencourt, this mansion served as the residence for military governors of Fuerteventura from 1708 until the position ended in 1859.
The building now functions as an art gallery managed by La Regenta Art Centre, displaying exhibitions that showcase the regional heritage of the Canary Islands.
Located southeast of La Oliva village near Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria church, the site provides parking facilities and maintains specific photography guidelines for visitors.
