The Quinta das Cruzes is a historic estate in Funchal, identified as the final residence of Zargo, where he died and where his sword was kept. A former Lomelino property later owned by Francisco Gonçalves da Câmara, it has a 1690s chapel with a marble ossuary said to contain Urbano Lomelino's bones. The Junta Geral chose it to house a museum of ancient art based on a collector's donation.
