A PLACE TO DISCOVER IN THE HEART OF THE CITY
The MASF is located in the heart of the city, within walking distance of other historic buildings, monuments, museums and other cultural spaces.
In addition to the richness of its collection of Sacred Art, it has the Belvedere Tower – a space typical of the 19th-century Madeiran urban palaces — from where one can enjoy a privileged view of the city and the sea.
