Museus
A Cidade do Açúcar Museum
It is dedicated to the island’s sugar industry between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries, in a period known as the "white gold cycle”, one of the greatest and most notorious times of the history and culture of Madeira Island.
The museum's collection gathers archaeological finds from the excavations carried out at the Columbus Square in 1989, where the old houses of the Flemish merchant João Esmeraldo once existed, having been demolished in 1876.
