The Anglican Church of Funchal was built in 1822 by order of the English Consul Henrique Veitch. Built in the neoclassic style, the church has a square floor plan with a classic facade and an elegantly painted dome.
In its peaceful garden, amidst the beautiful trees and plants, there is a bust of Philippa of Lancaster, wife of King João I of Portugal.

Funchal, the capital of the Madeira archipelago, was declared a city in the 1500s, and became an important point between the old and new worlds. The laid-back city owes much of its historical prominence to the white gold, the Madeiran sugar. Today Funchal is known for its appealing temperatures, wine and crafts. Top spots to visit include the open Worker's Market, Blandy's Wine Lodge and the Sacred Art Museum. Friendly locals, walkable streets and cheap taxis make the city easy to get around.
