Winston Churchill's

4.6(132 reviews)

About

On Madeira, Winston Churchill's holds a spot on R. Serpa Pinto 21, 9300-039 Câmara de Lobos, Portugal, close to the waterfront of that fishing town.

This is a church, and its rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 132 reviews places it among the more warmly received religious sites on the island. The website at https://cultura.madeira.gov.pt/olhares-sobre-o-passado/1632-visita-%C3%A0-madeira-de-sir-winston-churchill.html documents the connection between the building and the British statesman. First-time visitors should expect a quiet, contemplative space rather than a large tourist attraction.

Câmara de Lobos sits a short drive west of Funchal, and the church is within walking distance of the town centre. Funchal, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta are among the other places on the island, and the road network links them along the coast. Inter-island ferries carry passengers and supplies, and crossings can be rough in winter.

The ocean moderates temperatures, so the climate stays mild for the latitude and extremes of heat and cold are rare. Many islanders emigrated to New England and Europe for work, and family ties still run between the islands and those ports. The islands sit between Europe, Africa and the Americas, which has long made them crossroads for shipping and trade.
