EDITORS COMMENTS
Largo do Chafariz and Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption: A Glimpse into the Past of Funchal, Madeira (circa 1904) This evocative photograph captures the enchanting scene of Largo do Chafariz, or Fountain Square, and the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption in Funchal, Madeira. The image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the rich history and charm of this beautiful Portuguese island. The photograph showcases the stunning architecture of the buildings lining the square, including the Casa da Portuguesa and the imposing clock tower. The pavement, adorned with intricate patterns, leads our eyes towards the source of the square's name – the elegant Chafariz fountain. The trees lining the street add a touch of greenery and provide a contrast to the ornate buildings and the vibrant tramlines. In the background, the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, a 16th-century architectural masterpiece, stands proudly. Its intricate details, including the ornate facade and the tall bell tower, are a testament to the island's rich history and religious heritage. The cathedral's clock tower, with its distinctive obelisk, adds an air of grandeur to the scene. The water from the fountain reflects the buildings and trees, creating a mirror-like effect that adds depth and dimension to the photograph. The tranquility of the scene is only interrupted by the occasional passing of a horse-drawn carriage or the sound of the clanging trams. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the history and charm of Funchal, Madeira, and the unique blend of Portuguese culture and architecture that can be found on this enchanting island.
