7 Historic Sites in Azores That You Shouldn't Miss

November 26, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

The nine islands that make up the Azores are in fact the peaks of some of the world's tallest mountains, reaching from deep beneath the Atlantic. The once-uninhabited, volcanic archipelago now hosts thousands of tourists every year who flock to the islands for sun, sand and verdant mountain scenery. From the beaches of Praia da Vitoria to the bustling marina of Horta, to the bubbling volcanic ground "ovens" of Furnas, these islands offer unparalleled--and unusual--adventures to discover.

Palacio dos Capitaes Generais

Reviewed By mariasC7362XR

Entry fee required, with or without guide. Walking through rooms that History left with paintings of Kings Queens family fueds and international events. Past and now all become history. Don't miss the majestic Pine tree in the garden. It stands for centuries, I am so insignificant. History is life.
