The Church of St. John the Evangelist, also known as the College Chapel, is one of the most beautiful monuments dating back to the 17th century. In the city of Funchal, where its construction represents the transition from the International Approach to the Portuguese Baroque, the church is also considered one of the richest churches on the island of Madeira, as its beautiful religious building is the work of the Jesuits, and displays wonderful gilded woodwork from the seventeenth century, including Glazed tiles and other paintings dated from the 17th and 18th centuries.
