Santana, Mountainous coastal municipality in Madeira, Portugal.

The northern municipality of Santana covers 95 square kilometers of steep valleys and includes six distinct parishes along the Atlantic coast.

Established as a settlement in 1835, Santana received its city status in 2000 and grew from an agricultural region into a center of regional tourism.

The architecture of Santana features traditional triangular houses with thatched roofs, white walls, red doors, and blue trim that farmers built centuries ago.

The Madeira Theme Park in Santana presents exhibits about island heritage across seven acres, with demonstrations of regional customs and historical artifacts.

The maintenance of traditional houses requires complete replacement of straw roofs every four to five years to preserve their original structure.
