Very beautiful church (Igreja Matriz de São Sebastião) from the 16th century. Impresses with its ornate facade and beautiful wood carvings inside.

The center of the evening life on the island. In the bars, cafes and restaurants around there is something for everyone. For example, native Frozen Yogurt.

A beautiful and imposing church. During the day there is cheering and hustle and bustle and the forecourt is busy. In the evening it is rather quiet here. For this, the forecourt and the church are nicely lit.

At night, the church and the square are illuminated in full color, almost kitschy beautiful but worth seeing.

The parish church of Ponta Delgada was built between 1531 and 1547 on the site where a small pilgrimage chapel dedicated to Saint Sebastian once stood.
From the outside, it is impressive with its Manueline and Baroque style portals. The interior is decorated with carvings made of cedar and other rare types of wood such as pockwood. The images of saints from the 17th and 18th centuries, the tile paintings and the rosewood furniture from the 17th century in the sacristy and the extensive collection of gold-embroidered vestments from the 16th century deserve special mention.

Nice view over Ponta Delgada. In the upper part of the tower there is a very narrow and steep spiral staircase.

This church is also beautiful, although not as ornate as some of the other churches in the city.
