A charming and colorful street with a rich history dating back to 1430 - Rua de Santa Maria, located in the old town (zona velha) of Funchal. This cobbled, pedestrian-only street leads to the Santa Maria Maior church and is lined with restaurants, cafes, and art galleries, offering a delightful stroll for visitors.

The street is renowned for its stunning murals and painted doors, which were part of a revitalization effort following the devastating floods of 2010. The local council initiated the "Art of Open Doors" project in 2014 to rejuvenate the area, inviting local artists to transform over 200 doors into vibrant works of art. This initiative has turned Rua de Santa Maria into a public art space and one of

Funchal's most popular tourist attractions, captivating visitors with its artistic charm.
