Hidden Gems of Madeira Island
Beyond the bustling center of Funchal, Madeira Island preserves historic manor houses and secluded religious sites. This collection includes the 15th-century São Lourenço Fortress and the Quinta das Cruzes museum, which houses extensive collections of antiques and paintings. Coastal highlights feature the volcanic cliffs of Ponta de São Lourenço and the Rocha do Navio viewpoint. Architectural landmarks range from the Jesuit Igreja do Colégio with its panoramic tower to small 16th-century chapels like São Sebastião and the tile-adorned Santa Clara Monastery.
