Directions to the location

Built in honor of the patron saint of Madeira, this beautiful church houses the tomb of Charles I of Austria and is the island's most important pilgrimage site.

Charles I, the last Austro-Hungarian emperor, was exiled to Madeira and is buried in the Church of Nossa Senhora do Monte, where he is now honored with a tomb chapel, a statue, and a permanent exhibition.

It is in Monte where you can find the traditional wicker sledges, a typical means of transport crafted artisanally from wicker and wood, created in the 19th century. The sledges are guided by two "carreiros" (sledge drivers) who use the thick soles of their boots as brakes, covering 2km of pure excitement and adrenaline between Monte and Livramento.

This romantic garden dating from 1899 houses a great variety of floral species and centennial trees, highlighted by the lake in the center and its view over the bay.

The Monte Railway was a single-track railway, inaugurated in 1912, that connected Pombal, in Funchal, to Terreiro da Luta, over an extension of approximately 3.9 km; currently, its history is preserved in an Interpretation Center with films, photographs and original artifacts from that era.

Quinta Jardins do Imperador was built between 1802 and 1826 by James Gordon, notable for its gardens and the Malakoff tower; acquired in 1899 by Rocha Machado, it became the temporary residence of Emperor Charles I of Austria and his family in 1921.

Capela das Babosas was built in the early 20th century by Tristão de França Bettencourt to host celebrations of Madeira's jubilee festivals.

Near one of the city's most sublime gardens, this cable car connects to the parish of Monte, offering beautiful landscapes over the forest area of Vale da Ribeira de João Gomes.

Displays a collection of more than 2,000 specimens of exotic plants from all continents. It is a center of science, culture and leisure.
