This is a museum dedicated to Christopher Columbus and his presence in Porto Santo, highlighting period furniture, engravings of Christopher Columbus, reproductions of clothing from that time, and a series of manuscripts, including the logbook of his 3rd voyage. Of particular note is the exhibition depicting the sinking off the north coast of the island of the galleon Sloot Ter Hooge, belonging to the Dutch East India Company, and the matamorras, the pits where cereals were stored.

A walk is always therapeutic. A good suggestion is the Jardim do Passeio Marítimo in Porto Santo, with its palm trees and stone benches and tables. It offers a magnificent view of the ocean. It has a small playground with synthetic flooring and some play equipment for children.
