HISTORY

History and legend mingle when we refer to the origins of the island of Porto Santo. In 1418 during the kingdom of D. Jo達o I, the island was discovered by Jo達o Gon巽alves Zarco and Trist達o Vaz Teixeira, who, with only a small fleet, prepared to explore the African coast. Ravaged by a huge storm when all seemed lost, the navigators caught sight of a small island with golden sand that sheltered them from the tempest.

It is said that this was how name of the island arose: Porto Santo, or "Holy Harbour".

The first colonisers started to grow some cereals, breed cattle, plant vineyards and also to commercialise the famous dyeing material called "dragon's blood", which was coveted in the European markets of that time. Dragon's Blood was extracted from an endemic plant, already extinct in Porto Santo, known as dragon tree (Dracaena draco).

The discovery of the island of Porto Santo, in the beginning of the 15th century, represented an important landmark in the history of mankind, since it determined the beginning of the great Portuguese Discoveries' epopee, led by Prince Henry, the Navigator.

HISTORY

Vila Baleira

curiosities

Vila Baleira is the head township where in 1419 Bartolomeu Perestrelo, one of the settlers of this archipelago, founded the first village. Today, this quiet town is concentrated around the Largo do Pelourinho, the main square. The Mother Church and the Christopher Columbus House Museum (Casa Museu Crist贸v茫o Colombo) are two important historical landmarks where you will be able to learn more about the history of the island. To finish your day take a walk at sunset, down to the old quay built in 1935, or if you would prefer, stroll along the seashore in the promenade located west of the quay.

There are many curiosities that make of Porto Santo an island so interesting to know in detail. Discover the history of the island starting from the shreds of history spread a bit around everywhere.

HISTORY

lime mines In Ilhéu de Baixo, also known as Ilhéu da Cal (or Lime Islet), we find a set of mines rich in limestone, which is an important evidence of the natural and geomorphologic heritage of Porto Santo island.

Its slopes are pierced with grottos, which are nowadays deactivated and several galleries are still open to visitors.

casas de salão (salão houses) One of the finest examples of the island's traditional architecture are the Salão Houses. Salão is a name that derives from the material used on the roof of these houses: a kind of sandy clay which operates a natural heating and cooling system. The houses are kept cool during the summer, due to the cracks that appear in the salão when the weather is hot; and warm in the winter, as the sandy mix absorbs the rain, thus becoming spongy and impermeable. It is worth paying a visit to some of the centenary old constructions that can still be found in the island.

08. porto santo

HISTORY

windmills The picturesque look of Porto Santo is highlighted by the countless rotating windmills made of wood, some of which are still functioning.

Being an island exposed to the wind from all directions, and with a relatively low relief, the first windmill was the most grandiose oeuvre built in Porto Santo during the 18th century.

matamorras From the 15th to the 18th century, Porto Santo's history has been marked by it's vulnerability to attacks by pirates and corsairs. For four centuries, the long stretch of golden sand, which today is one of Porto Santo's biggest attractions, was the weakest spot of the island. It made it extremely difficult for the people of Porto Santo to protect themselves and their belongings from the pillages that took place.

A solution was derived from the Moresque heritage in the form of matamorras or open pits, which were dug underneath the house's floors or in hidden sheltered places. These openings were covered by a square basalt slab sealed with clay mixed with water and used to protect the people's belongings from the greed of the Algerian pirates, who at that time represented the greatest danger for the island.

HISTORY

Columbus at the island of Porto Santo There was a famous navigator who lived here and who eventually placed the island's name in every history book: Christopher Columbus.

It was here that the famous navigator married and lived with Filipa Moniz, the daughter of Bartolomeu Perestrelo, the first donatory captain of the island and here the couple also had a son. Columbus studied and improved some navigation techniques in Porto Santo, already employed by the Portuguese, which became essential elements for his voyages and discoveries.

WELLNESS

Porto Santo's therapeutic sand Unlike most beaches, the sand on Porto Santo is essentially carbonated, formed by sediments of corals, seashells and sea-urchins. With scientifically proven results, these sands relieve rheumatic pains and help recover bone fractures, and are used in the treatments developed by the Geomedicine Centre on the island.

Porto Santo's water

The white sands, the long shore and the warm and crystalline waters are not Porto Santo's only charming attractions. This holidaymaker's paradise is also coveted for the countless therapeutic properties of its sands and waters, which combine in various forms of treatments.

The treatment of orthopedic, rheumatic and physiatric diseases is merely an example of the many healing opportunities of this destination, located only 50 km away from the island of Madeira.

And that's not all. The seawater's richness in iodine, calcium and magnesium is another reason why this island is the ideal place to recover from the body's lack of mineral salts, caused by stress and fatigue.

12. porto santo

Seawater is used in thalassotherapy treatments, due to its substantially elevated quantities of chromium, strontium and iodine, all benefic elements for your health. Likewise, Porto Santo's spring waters, both bicarbonated and sodic, are also rich in essential components to the well-being of our body.

thalassotherapy Stress, exhaustion, fatigue, sedentariness, dietary deficiencies, intoxication caused by tobacco, osteoarthritis, digestive disorders and postpartum recovery are some of various treatments offered by the island's centre of Thalassotherapy, which means "cure by the sea" in Greek. Come visit this unique centre in Porto Santo and relax while you take care of yourself and of your health.
