This church is architecturally rich, with thick pillars that define the three zones, and a rich facade made with carved stone that provides a sensation of harmony and movement. Its construction began in 1796 and ended in 1825. The church has an important treasure in pieces of silver, gold and painting. Among jewels, the most distinguished is a silver monstrance dated to 1618.

Gorgeous little baroque church, just off the town square - watch out for traffic when coming out. Also called the Church of the Miséricorde, it is a stunningly beautiful interior, for such a small building.

Ordered their aged brandy on a whim on our first day in Sao Miguel (the menu translated the name as "Cloaked Woman" which cracked me up for some reason) and really enjoyed it. Looked it up online and discovered the distillery tour. The tour itself is fairly short, but it's also free. You finish with a tasting of their various brandies and liqueurs - also free - and the opportunity to buy said tasty items (definitely not free). Fun little stop, and the staff were friendly and engaged. Also, there is an adorable dog that hangs out there, so a) please drive carefully and b) give him a chin-scratch for me. And yes - I meant to click "yes" to "Would you associate this place or activity with wellness?" You take care of your well-being your way, I'll take care of it in mine :D

We were guided to this museum by the tourist information office. The museum is in a former manor house, and has displays of the various occupations from yesteryear. The gem is a mechanical Nativity scene, and local scene, built in the 1920’s. Well worth the €2.00 admission, and just a 5 minute walk from the main. Square.

This museum is very modern and the art leaves a lot of space for interpretation, so if you aren’t able to interpret something into art, then this might won‘t be the place to be for you but for everyone else: I think you‘ll like this museum!
