Message from Monica | The Madeira Travelista

The Funchal Cathedral, a stunning blend of Gothic and Manueline styles, stands as a symbol of faith and history in Madeira. Built during the reign of King Manuel I, this architectural gem boasts intricate details like a silver tabernacle and a Mudejar-style cedar ceiling. Visitors can explore its rich history through the chapel of the High Altar and the tower with its spiral stone staircase. With daily Masses and guided tours available, the Cathedral welcomes all to experience its spiritual and cultural significance.

Please note that the cathedral is quite dark inside, which some people may experience as unpleasant.
