Before the visitor/pilgrim reaches the church "Nossa Senhora do Monte", which stands in a very exposed mountain location above the city of Funchal, he comes across this monument. It is the harbinger, so to speak, because the Emperor Charles I of Austria-Hungary depicted here is encountered again in the church: the last ruler of the Habsburg dual monarchy found his final resting place there. The historical background of why the emperor was buried far away from his homeland has already been written in the highlight of the church - see komoot.com/de-de/highlight/114897 and komoot.com/de-de/highlight/6296730 - (the two links are not duplicates, but the church in various sports).

Read his story, it's really exciting. He experienced the downfall of the dynasty, was bullied at court because he married for love and not politics, is still honored today, canonized by the Pope, really exciting.
