The construction of Quinta de S. Christovam begins in the year 1690 and ends in 1692, a date engraved on the stonework of the chapel's door, and asserts itself as a traditional wealthy Madeiran manor, in the island's architectural tradition.

Here we tell the story of a farm that many people may know as a building, but are unaware of it.
