The Santana houses, known as "palheiros," are characterized by their triangular thatched roofs and colorful doors. These unique structures have stood the test of time, preserving the traditional way of life in Madeira. Stepping into one of these houses feels like entering a bygone era. Madeira’s small, triangular houses were once made of straw taken from the cereal plantation and wood from the forests. These materials were cheap and abundant in this region and important to balance the temperature of the interior. The high slope of the roofs allowed the rainwater to drain. We estimate that triangular houses are traces of primitive constructions. Inside only an attic, where agricultural products were kept, and a ground floor, where the residential area was located, divided into two separate parts, the kitchen, and the bedroom.
