Catedral de Angra do Heroismo on the Island of Terceira in the Azores
On a walking tour of the city of Angra do Heroismo, we first saw the Cathedral of Angra at a distance from the top of Jardim Duque da Terceira (Duke of Terceira Garden). Our guide then took us to the steps of the cathedral
Description:
The Angra do Heroísmo Cathedral is the biggest Temple and one of the main monuments of this lovely town, classified by UNESCO as World Heritage, situated in the gorgeous Terceira Island, on the Azores Archipelago.
The present temple would have been built over the previous São Salvador Church, dated probably from 1496, yet small for the prescent population of Angra do Heroísmo, that was by then affirming its power and expansion. From this previous temple is left the main altar.
In 1570 started the temple’s construction, in a majestic style, and in the 20th century several conservation works were made, as the natural catastrophes, namely the 1980 big earthquake and a big fire in 1984, caused serious harm in the building.
The Angra do Heroísmo Cathedral is characterized by its sober façade with two bell towers and presents a lovely interior with cedar sculpted ceiling, 17th century glazed tiles, furniture in jacaranda wood and the famous pipe organ with big dimensions.

Praia da Vitória (Beach of the Victory) Terceira Azores
Here are excerpts of a description of Praia da Vitória:
Historic Praia da Vitória was founded around 1456 as Vila da Praia, it received its present name from Queen Maria II in 1837 in grateful remembrance of the first victory of the Liberals over the Royalists on the 11th of August 1829 in a battle, which took place off the town’s shores. Seat of the first captain-donees of the island, Praia served as capital until it was superseded by Angra do Heroísmo in 1476. Praia da Vitória now constitutes Terceira’s most important seaport. The north quay accommodates the local fishing fleet while the south quay is occupied by the commercial harbour, with big container ships mooring here. The most impressive of all is probably the all-dominating Igreja Matriz de Santa Cruz, an attractive parish church with a large façade with two imposing bell-towers that can be seen from far. Founded in the middle of the 15th century by the first captain-donee of the island, this three-naved church was only consecrated in 1516 and over the centuries of its existence, it was damaged several times by earthquakes and restored again. Praia da Vitória was badly damaged by several earthquakes (1614, 1841 and 1980). South of the Matriz stands the noteworthy Paços do Concelho (Town Hall) at the main square Largo Francisco Ornelas da Câmara, which is adorned with the Estatua da Liberdada, a monument in memory of the heroes of the battle of 11th August 1829. The town hall was originally founded in 1591 and shows the typical architectural of north Portuguese manor houses, featuring an impressive double-staircase in the middle of its façade, which is flanked by a massive bell-tower on one side. Praia da Vitória is also the birthplace of the town’s most famous son, the novelist, poet, journalist and teacher Vitorino Nemésio (1901-1978).
