Traveler reviews
Barbara Klopcic
★★★★★3 months agoThis concert was an absolutely wonderful experience! The 60s program was full of energy and emotion, and the mix of violin and electric guitar felt fresh and captivating. The church’s acoustics were outstanding – the sound was rich, clear, and truly immersive, creating a magical atmosphere. It also turned out to be the perfect rainy-day activity in Madeira. If you’re not in the mood for museums, this is such a great alternative – cozy, cultural, and really special. Highly recommended for a beautiful and memorable evening!

★★★★★7 months agoWonderful acoustics. Funchal is a perfect place for experiencing live music and this church hosts rock / folk /classical music events . I stayed next door and could hear amazing sounds through my window! Very interesting building for an Anglican church ,the history and list of notable persons donating to it's construction reflects the overall historical growth of the importance of Funchal harbour to Britain as a seafaring nation. Stations of the cross can be followed around inside the encircling walls,all numbered and tiled.
