Hidden history and ethnography

The history and ethnography go hand in hand, in our island, lost in the Atlantic. Located in the city center and in the suburbs, two museums should be part of your holiday agenda.


The first, Casa Museu Cristóvão Colombo, stands hidden behind the Mother Church, with the explorer’s travel diagrams, copies of maps and a seductive heritage, capable of enchanting even the least romantic. The second, located in Camacha, nearby the imposing Pico Castelo, ethnographic riches and various utensils, some of them perfect replicas that have crossed centuries, wait for a visit of those who know that Porto Santo has much more to offer than the famous golden cord made of therapeutic sands.
