This chapel dates from the 15th century and is one of the few 15th century buildings still standing today, although it has been modified many times since then.
It was built in honour of São Pedro Gonçalves Telmo, patron saint of fishermen, and at times it also served as an infirmary for fishermen and their families.
The architecture of the building is in the gothic-mannerist style, and the chancel is decorated with paintings depicting the life of the saint.
Visiting times: Monday through Friday 9.30-12.30 and 14.00-18.00

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.
