Approximate location
Angústias is a locality in Funchal named after the 1662 chapel, where the municipal cemetery, blessed in 1838, was built. The unfinished 1837 infant asylum there later became the Asilo da Mendicidade, and the town council occupied the building in 1843–45 and 1846–48. The cemetery holds a 1917 monument to victims of the German bombardment.
