In December 2007, Columbus's Window was restored by Nova Conservação Restauro, the company which restored the Funchal Cathedral Masonry. When the window was initially installed, it was supported by an iron structure which had corroded and expanded with time and had to be removed. Part of the window was dismantled and reerected without the iron structure. The masonry also cleaned and treated to remove plants and lichens.

The music video of the track "Um Lugar Para Nós" by Madeiran singer Marcio Amaro was partially filmed in Palmeira in 2018. Watch on Youtube:
