2Chronology

1824
By royal letter of 13 September 1824, Brigadier Francisco António Raposo was sent to study a mole in Funchal; with Major Sant'Ana he chose the Baixas de São Tiago, and the letter was read to the council on 26 November, but although 37 contos were spent on materials the works never began.
