The traditional Santana Madeira houses are iconic symbols of the island's rich cultural heritage. Characterized by their triangular thatched roofs and vibrant red, white, and blue colors, these unique homes offer a fascinating glimpse into the history and traditions of Madeira. With origins dating back to the discovery of Madeira in 1419, these houses were initially used by local farmers during the island's early settlement and are now famous for their distinctive roofs and colourful exteriors.

Although locals no longer live in these small triangular houses, you can still visit the island’s casa típicas on a trip to Madeira. The majority of these traditional houses are located in the picturesque village of Santana, which is renowned for its concentration of these historic homes.
