Faial

Faial has served as an agricultural parish on Madeira’s north coast since the 16th century. Set between steep green slopes and the Atlantic Ocean, it has a wetter, more rural character than Funchal on the island’s south side. Madeira’s mountainous interior rises directly behind the settlement, while the Laurissilva forest landscapes of the north form part of the island’s UNESCO-listed natural heritage. The Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Natividade is a local focal point, and cultivated terraces remain part of the terrain.
