my innovative school project

Hello, my name is Nicole. Am going to present my part of the presentation about Funchal. Today I’m going to talk about the history of Funchal.
This settlement began around 1424, when the island was divided into two captaincies. The zones that would become the urbanized core of Funchal were founded by João Gonçalves Zarco who settled there with members of his family.
In the early 15th century, Álvaro Fernandes became the commander of Funchal.
Funchal became an important transfer point for European commercial interests. Christopher Columbus was one of the early settlers, but later many of the merchant families established commercial interests on the island
In 1493 began the construction of a church and later raised to cathedral in 1514.
In 1508, it was elevated to the status of city by King Manuel I of Portugal.
