It was the first church of importance built overseas by the Portuguese. Ordered by King Manuel I in 1514 and built by the master Pêro Annes, it has a sober whitewashed façade surrounded by black basalt and red tufa. The architectural beauty of the building is associated with its Hispano-Arabic and Romano-Gothic lines. Inside, the ceiling has a Manueline inlay of wood and ivory, and a representation of the world and scenes depicting the great discoveries. The gilded Flemish style choir is flamboyant.

La cathédrale est une petite perle dans la ville de Funchal. Une partie de ses murs sont en pierres volcaniques et l'autre partie en blanc ce qui donne un magnifique contraste ! L'intérieur est aussi très beau à la mode baroque portugaise. Je la recommande vivement !

magnifique !
Regardez bien les détails au plafond.
La plus belle chapelle est toute ornée d'or, elle est superbe, se trouve au fond, à droite, dans la cathédrale.
