The Boa Viagem Chapel, also known as the Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Monte das Oliveiras, was founded by Captain Manuel Bulhões in 1655 (although the inscription on the portal says 1683). Acquired by the municipality in the early 20th century, it is used today as a gallery for the works of Madeiran artist Henrique Franco.

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.
