The three rivers that cross Funchal have always been a serious problem to the town council, especially since they started tackling the task of urban planning and organisation.

But it was only in the late 15th century, when the town started building rudimentary wooden bridges that did not even support the weight of animals with heavy loads.

The first bridge, today called Ponte do Cidrão, ordered by the town council was built over the river Santa Luzia.

Die drei Flüsse, die Funchal durchqueren, waren schon immer ein ernstes Problem für den Stadtrat, besonders seitdem man sich im Stadtrat mit Stadtplanung und Organisation befasste.

Trotzdem begann man erst im 15. Jh. mit dem Bau von primitiven Holzbrücken, die allerdings noch nicht einmal die Überquerung von Tieren mit schweren Lasten aushalten konnten.

Die erste, vom Stadtrat in Auftrag gegebene Brücke, die heute Ponte do Cidrão heißt, überquerte den Fluss Santa Luzia.
