Igreja de São Salvador (Santa Cruz)

The parish church of Santa Cruz, the second largest church in the Region after Funchal Cathedral, on whose model it was built in the sixteenth century. The structure has stayed intact: bell tower, pointed portal with colonnettes and archivolts. Inside, the chancel is covered by a ribbed vault resting on corbels and carries a polyptych of six sixteenth-century oil paintings on wood, from a good Portuguese workshop. Among the liturgical objects, a gilded silver chalice marks the passage from Gothic to the vocabulary of the Roman Renaissance.
