The Nordeste Village<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your visit should start in Nordeste Village. It is in this small village that the municipality's most valuable historical and architectural heritage is located. One of the most beautiful places in the Village and the Azores is the Ponte dos 7 Arcos. This Bridge dates back to the 19th century, having been built between 1882 and 1883. At night, the lamps on the Bridge are lit and it seems that we are transported to that century. The Igreja Matriz de S\u00e3o Jorge, the Christian church in the Village, is a building from the 15th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
