Joao Goncalves Zarco, discoverer of Madeira and first appointed captain of Funchal, commissioned the construction of this church in the 15th century. The 15th century convent originally belonged to a cloistered order, but it is currently open to the public, who can visit gothic cloister, the ornate chapels and the beautiful nave of the church.
