Igreja Paroquial de Santa Cecília

🏘️ Câmara de Lobos · Câmara de Lobos

Opened in 2011, it is one of the island's newest churches. It replaced the convent of São Bernardino as the seat of the parish of Santa Cecília, created on 24 November 1960 by decree of the Bishop of Funchal, D. David Sousa. The architect Luís Jorge Santos gave it the shape of a boat, in reference to the apostle Peter's: straight lines, minimalism, a bell tower detached from the body. The single nave is dominated by a Christ Pantocrator. At Christmas the missas do parto are sung here.
