2Chronology

João Escórcio Drumond built the chapel of São Pedro on the Lombada de São Pedro, Santa Cruz.
1803
The great flood of 9 October 1803, considered Madeira's greatest calamity, devastated Funchal and other parts of the island, killing about 600 people and destroying the Calhau church, stream walls, bridges and chapels in Machico, Santa Cruz and elsewhere. It prompted Oudinot's mission and the city's spread outwards.
