The church of Nossa Senhora do Monte,...
The church of Nossa Senhora do Monte, located in the town reached by cable car from Funchal, was built in the eighteenth century, on the site of a small hermitage from the fifteenth century. There's a small image of the Virgin Mary, who is considered the protector the island. The staircase is particularly striking, and in the period of the festival, it is bedecked with bright colours.
