Inauguration Of The Rotunda João Dantas

In a tribute ceremony to João Dantas (*1932), the former president of Câmara de Lobos and president of the Funchal City Council, a new roundabout was inaugurated and named Rotunda João Dantas in his honor. The former Vitória roundabout, close to Cimentos Madeira, underwent a comprehensive revitalization, incurring a cost of 100 thousand euros. This included repavement, irrigation system installation, garden landscaping, and a luminous sign featuring the word "Funchal."
