Funchal
The Jesuit college and church of São João Evangelista in Funchal date from the Jesuits' arrival in 1570, with the building constructed in the seventeenth century. It was later used as a seminary, barracks and public offices, and the church was restored in 1847. The entry reproduces eighteenth-century descriptions of the chapels, their founders and benefactors.
