Message from Monica | The Madeira Travelista

The Mother Church of Ribeira Brava, also known as the Church of São Bento, is a charming rural temple located on Madeira's west coast. Dating back to the 16th century, this historic monument showcases a mix of Manueline, Mannerist, and Baroque architectural styles. Inside, you can admire a rich collection of 16th and 17th-century paintings, sculptures, and silver pieces, making it a must-visit for art and history enthusiasts exploring the region. Don't miss the stunning altarpiece and the exquisite image of Nossa Senhora do Rosário while soaking in the church's serene atmosphere.
