Traditional Thatched House in Santana, Madeira
This iconic triangular cottage, known as a 'Casa Típica de Santana,' stands in the municipality of Santana on the northern coast of Madeira, Portugal. The structure features a steep thatched straw roof reaching nearly to the ground, white walls with vibrant blue trim and red base, and currently serves as a 'Doçaria Tradicional' (traditional confectionery). These historic A-frame houses (palheiros) are a definitive symbol of Madeiran rural heritage and architectural adaptation.
