St Cecilia concert at Monte church

Every November musicians honour Santa Cecília, the patron saint of music. In Funchal the Banda Municipal, also known as the Artistas Funchalenses and founded 176 years ago, celebrates with a concert inside the church of Nossa Senhora do Monte, the white church at the top of the cable car with its view over the whole bay.

Ticket money supports the band and the conservation of the church.
