CHURCH MATRIZ DA NOSSA SENHORA DA ASSUNÇÃO

Built between the 15th and 17th centuries and rebuilt in the 19th century, the church, where blue dominates, retains Gothic and Manueline elements. There are azulejos and, in the baptistery, stained glass windows (quite rare in the Azores) depicting the baptism of Jesus. Also noteworthy are a relief representation of Hell, a Virgin and Child by a Flemish painter and a particularly moving sculpture by Nossa Senhora do Carmo.
