Good To Know
Welcome to Rua de Santa Maria, where history meets creativity! Nestled in the heart of Funchal, this street is as old as time itself, boasting some of the island's oldest cobblestones. But what really steals the show? The doors! Yep, you heard that right. Each door is like a canvas, splashed with vibrant colors and unique designs. It's all thanks to the "Art of Open Doors" project that kicked off back in 2010. Local artists took to the streets, turning dull façades into eye-catching masterpieces. So, take a stroll from Mercado dos Lavradores to Igreja de Santa Maria Maior and soak up the artistic vibes. Trust me, you won't want to miss this Instagram-worthy spot!
