Funchal Cathedral.

The second thing the Europeans did when they colonized was to build churches. The Portuguese began colonizing Madeira over 500 years ago. Funchal Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, is a Catholic church with a history of over 500 years. It is located in the center of Funchal. The cathedral is one of the few buildings on the island that has been completely preserved since the early colonial period.
