Monte

Monte lies along the steep slopes above Funchal’s Atlantic coast, where Madeira’s volcanic terrain rises sharply from the city toward greener uplands. This hilltop parish is closely associated with the Church of Our Lady of Monte, which contains the tomb of Charles I, the last emperor of Austria. The Monte Palace Tropical Garden brings together landscaped terraces, water features and plant collections on the former estate. Monte is also known for the Carreiros do Monte, who guide traditional wicker sledges downhill on the paved streets. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Monte and Madeira.
