The Santana houses of Madeira are traditional, wooden houses with triangular roofs and a distinct architectural style. They are found primarily in the north of the island, in the town of Santana. The houses are typically painted in bright colors, with white exteriors and colorful trim and shutters.

These houses were originally built by the early settlers of Madeira for the purpose of providing shelter for their families and livestock. They were constructed using local materials, such as wood and straw, and were designed to withstand the strong winds and heavy rainfall that are common in the region.

Inside the houses, the traditional furnishings and decor reflect the island's history and culture. Many of the houses have been converted into museums or cultural centers, allowing visitors to learn more about the history and traditions of Madeira.
