Camara Municipal de Angra do Heroismo

Angra has had three city halls. The first city hall had a small square in front. Later, the trade from India and the importance of the city led to the construction of a larger square and a new building with lateral staircases, a portico with columns, and a bell tower. The existing city hall was built in the nineteenth century and was inspired by the Oporto's old City Hall. It has one of the largest and grandiose great halls in the country.

Interesting Historic Building Free To Enter And walk around, we went upstairs to the two large rooms, very nice to see the architecture and paintings, you will spend around 10 to 15 minutes visiting the interior.

Well worth the effort to get to the top of the weather is clear. We trekked up the road using Google Maps. When he headed down, we used the easier walking path with steps and landings and beautiful plants and flowers that ended in the botanical gardens (Duke of Terceira’s Garden).

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.
