Place street/square Sé Funchal
Avenida Zarco is an avenue in Funchal that replaced the former Entrada da Cidade, built in 1839 when the Saúde gate was pulled down. Buildings on or overlooking it included the old Commercial Association building, which housed the Escola Elementar do Comércio, the house of the Clube Republicano da Madeira and the Club Restauração. A triumphal arch was erected on it for the quincentenary of the discovery of Madeira, and a procession of visitors from Tenerife was greeted there with the Spanish anthem.
