Location:

The Achada Viewpoint Garden is located in the locality of Achada, integrated into the parish of Imaculado Coração de Maria, in the municipality of Funchal. It is situated at an altitude of 152 meters, at a point that offers a privileged visual framing of a slope of the Madeiran capital.

This space faces the eastern part of Funchal, allowing visitors a wide observation of the landscape that extends in that direction, combining urban and natural elements of the surrounding area.

The Garden's Environment:

The viewpoint is set within a carefully designed garden space, inviting tranquility and contemplation. The garden is composed of a variety of botanical elements, including trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants, which intertwine with climbing plants and a lawn area, creating a green and serene environment.

For the comfort of its visitors, there are benches placed throughout the garden, some made of cast iron with wooden slats. These seats allow for a pleasant pause, whether to admire the view or to enjoy the calm atmosphere and contact with the vegetation.

The Perspective of the City:

One of the distinctive points of the Achada Viewpoint Garden is its ability to offer a unique perspective of Funchal. From this location, the view is directed towards the eastern zone of the city, revealing its urban fabric, different buildings, and how the natural orography of the hillside shapes itself towards the sea.

The elevation of the viewpoint provides a visual reach that allows for a comprehensive appreciation of a significant part of the city, making it a place of interest for those seeking to observe the urban landscape from a distinct angle.

Origin of the Space:

The Achada Viewpoint Garden was created in 2009. Its construction aimed to provide the Achada locality with a new public space that combined the beauty of a garden with the functionality of an observation point. Since its conception, it has sought to offer a harmonious place for enjoying the local landscape.
