The Monte church, built in the 18th century, features eighteenth- and eighteenth-century architecture. In the left side chapel is the tomb of Charles of Habsburg, the last emperor of Austria, Hungary and Bohemia.
When you visit Funchal , you will notice at one point or another a pretty yellow building on the coast. This building is none other than the São Tiago Fortress in the historic center of the city. The Portuguese built the brick and stone fortress in 1614 to protect Funchal from pirate attacks and corsairs. This construction was probably long overdue, as pirates attacked the city in 1566.
The Funchal Cathedral was founded in 1485 by order of D.Manuel I, who was so proud of the acquisition of the new island province that he decided to send Pero Anes, one of Lisbon's most important architects, to build it.
