Designed by Francisco Franco, with a pedestal by Silva of Cristino, it features allegorical elements like Settlement, Conquest, Wisdom, and Evangelization, reflecting the spirit of the Discoveries. Unveiled in 1934 at the intersection of Avenidas Zarco and Arriaga, the statue is conveniently located in the pedestrian zone.

Mais bonita e significativa do que a estátua, é a Av. Zarco, cheia de árvores, muito verde e sombreada. Subindo da Av. do Mar, pela Zarco, chega-se até a estátua. Zarco foi um navegador português e cavaleiro fidalgo da Casa do Infante D. Henrique. Comandante de barcas, escolhido pelo Infante para organizar o povoamento e administrar por si a Ilha da Madeira, na parte do Funchal, a partir de cerca de 1425.
