The main altar of the Church of São João in Funchal.
The Igreja de São João Evangelista do Colégio do Funchal is a religious building in the city of Funchal, on the island of Madeira.
I visited it, by chance, a few months ago and took a couple of photos of the splendid gilded wooden altar.

Where is the church:
Funchal is a Portuguese municipality and the capital of the autonomous region of Madeira. Funchal is the largest city on the island; it was founded in 1421 by João Gonçalves Zarco and elevated to city status by King Manuel I in 1508. Today, Funchal is a modern city, located in a unique area where the geological composition creates a natural amphitheater that surrounds the entire city, starting from the port and reaching up to its highest slopes, 1,200 meters. This natural protection attracted the first inhabitants, who formed the initial nucleus of Funchal.
