The Museum Centre - Lime Route encompasses several sites of interest related to the natural, built and cultural heritage of São Vicente in an area of ​​approximately 12,000 square meters. Among these, in addition to all the local scenic beauty, are two limestone quarries, a lime kiln and other buildings supporting production such as haystacks, terraces and irrigation channels, elements that are quite characteristic of the Madeiran rural landscape.

Built between the 17th and 18th centuries in the traditional Madeiran civil style, this house was the birthplace of Dr. Horácio Bento de Gouveia. It was adapted into a House-Museum in 1986, where you can find objects related to the professional life of this Madeiran writer, journalist, and professor, as well as antique pieces.

A House-Museum where all the daily Madeira traditions are pictured in objects currently considered as true relics of the past.
