Cinco de Junho (street)
Original title: Cinco de Junho (Rua)
A Funchal street linking Rua dos Aranhas (now Dr. Chaves) with Largo do Ribeiro Real, opened when the old cemetery alleys were demolished. It is named after 5 June 1834, the date the constitutional government was proclaimed in Madeira.
This public thoroughfare, which links Rua dos Aranhas (today Rua do Dr. Chaves) directly with Largo do Ribeiro Real, was opened a few years ago, when the old alleys known as the cemetery alleys, which lay near the two British cemeteries, were demolished and repaired.
5 June 1834 is the date of the proclamation of constitutional government in Madeira, and the new street was given this name to commemorate that auspicious event.
