The cultural centres in Madeira are spread out all over the territory, with very different missions and profiles. Visitors may, for example, find centres installed in historic buildings, such as the Culture Centre - Quinta do Revoredo. This space, surrounded by pleasant garden areas, was acquired by Santa Cruz City Council and currently has an exhibition room, plastic arts workshop, photographic laboratory, library and open-air amphitheatre.

Likewise, there are several cultural centres that are housed in modern facilities, perfectly integrated into the urban landscape. This is the case of the Culture and Congress Centre of Porto Santo, which comfortably hosts congresses, musical shows and cinema screenings, or the Machico Forum, which enjoys excellent conditions.
