Right next to the church is the very good and reasonably priced "Restaurante Bom Jesus - Santa Cruz".

Built in the 16th century and modeled after Funchal Cathedral, the Church of San Salvador combines impressive architecture with a striking Gothic-Manueline interior. The church boasts a structure that has remained intact for centuries, a beautiful bell tower, and a pointed-arch portal with arcades and archivolts. San Salvador is the second largest church on Madeira.
