Porto da Cruz
The parish of Porto da Cruz was created on 26 September 1577, by Jerónimo Barreto, establishing as its patron "Nossa Senhora da Piedade" (). During the contract signing, the formal donation identified the new church as "Nossa Senhora da Glória" (), but after completion, it was consecrated as "Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe" ().
Since its establishment, the parish pertained to the Captaincy of Machico, but in 1835, it was integrated into the municipality of Santana with the administrative reforms of the Liberal regime. On 19 October 1852, these changes were nullified and the parish returned to the municipality of Machico.
