- We present preliminary results of an archaeoastronomical study of the orientations of the colonial Christian churches on the island of Fuerteventura, in the Canary Islands, Spain, mostly built from the period of the Norman conquest in the 15th century to the 19th century. Our goal is to analyze the possible influence of astronomical events on the orientation of these churches. Preliminary results suggest that the vast majority of the island’s religious constructions have their axes oriented within the solar range, between the extreme azimuths of the annual movement of the Sun as it crosses the local horizon. This differs from what was found on the islands of Lanzarote and La Gomera (also in the Canaries) previously studied.
Presentamos resultados preliminares de un estudio arqueoastronómico de las orientaciones de las iglesias cristianas coloniales de la isla de Fuerteventura, en Canarias, España, construidas en su mayoría desde el período de la conquista normanda en el siglo XV hasta el siglo XIX. Nuestro objetivo es analizar la posible influencia de eventos astronómicos en la orientación de estas iglesias. Los resultados preliminares sugieren que la gran mayoría de las construcciones religiosas de la isla posee sus ejes orientados dentro del rango solar, entre los acimuts extremos del movimiento anual del Sol al cruzar el horizonte local. Esto difiere de lo hallado en las islas de Lanzarote y La Gomera (también en Canarias) previamente estudiadas.
