You need to buy a ticket. This place is quite interesting. The castle is a building with many years of history. It is a perfect area to visit here. The environment of the entire castle is also very elegant, suitable for a slow tour.

The museum opened by C Lang near the cruise terminal of Funchal, the capital of Madeira, is managed by his brother. The admission fee is 5 euros💶. It displays the team and individual awards that C Lang has won in his career (and more will continue to be added), as well as the jerseys he wore in games and many photos from training and award ceremonies.
Cooperate with the Madeira Islands government to promote tourism in your hometown with celebrity effect. Even if you are not a Clang fan, I highly recommend this place to everyone that can tell good hometown stories🤟🏻
