La Cilla Grain Museum,Fuerteventura

La Cilla Grain Museum

For centuries Fuerteventura was the granary of the Canary Islands. Grain left its ports to supply other islands. Today this past is remembered in the Casa de la Cilla, in La Oliva, a place not to missed by those interested in finding out about the backbone of the Fuerteventuran economy until a few decades ago.

In Fuerteventura “cillas” were created in Betancuria, Tindaya, Tetir, Tiscamanita and La Oliva. The purpose of these warehouses was to safeguard the Church’s crops and produce, either those obtained from their own livestock and lands or those that were due by way of tithes.

The Cilla de La Oliva is a building from the 19th century with stone walls and gabled roof, a clear example of traditional architecture. In 1836 it was seized by the State as a result of Mendizábal’s confiscation. It went up for public auction and fell into private hands, which then also used it as a granary. Subsequently, abandonment fell upon the building until it was acquired by the Council in 1997, who then converted it into the La Cilla Grain Museum.
