The Convent of Santa Clara is a convent of clarisses located in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. It was built on the late 15th century to house the daughters of nobility in the island.[1]
The convent was developed around a primitive church, church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Cima, ordered by João Gonçalves Zarco, the island's discover and first donatary captain of Funchal, to be his family tomb.[1][2][3]
Its construction began on 1492 and finished in 1497 under the order of João Gonçalves da Câmara, Funchal's second donatary captain and son of João Gonçalves Zarco.[1]
The convent ceased functioning with the dissolution of the monasteries in Portugal in the 19th century.
