Fodor's Expert Review Convento de Santa Clara
Funchal
Church
Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.
Inside the working 17th-century Santa Clara Convent, the painted wood walls and ceiling are lined with ceramic tiles, giving the sanctuary a Moorish feel. There are two beautiful internal cloisters; one is filled with orange trees, the other offers a sweeping panorama of the convent. The adjacent church contains the tomb of Zarco, who discovered Madeira.
