10 Architectural Buildings in Azores That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

The climb up to this lookout was amazing. We climbed to the top and took lots of scenic pictures. The history about this castle told of its importance of warning the island of incoming war ships

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.

In 1980 the island had an earthquake that measure 7.6. 75% of the homes on the island were damaged or destroyed. The church of St. Sebastian was the only church left unscathed by the earthquake thus earning it the title "The Miracle Church". They also have discovered fresco paintings on the walls and are working at restoring them. Well worth a visit.

While in Furnas my wife and I walked around the Lake Furnas. There is a beautiful church on the hike around the lake. It the Chapel of Our Lady of Victories. What a beautiful sight this church was with all of the lush foliage around it. We did not go in, but you could pay 5 euro and walk through a botanical trail that allows you access inside the chapel. It was a beautiful break for our hike and an opportunity to think about all who had worshiped in this chapel in years past.
