Situated on the mid-Atlantic island of Terceira within the Portuguese Autonomous Region of the Azores, Angra do Heroísmo was an obligatory port of call for the fleets of equatorial Africa and of the East and West Indies routes during their voyages to and from Europe from the 15th century until the advent of steamships in the 19th century. The port of Angra is also the eminent example of a creation linked to the maritime world: It is directly and tangibly associated with a development of a universal historic significance, the maritime exploration that allowed exchanges between the world’s great civilizations.

An extensive defensive system was installed following the town’s foundation. The 400-year-old São Sebastião and São João Baptista fortifications are notable examples of this military architecture.
Preservation
The Central Zone of the Town of Angra do Heroísmo in the Azores is largely authentic in terms of its location and setting, forms and designs, and materials and substances. It was substantially repaired and rebuilt following the violent earthquake in 1980 that significantly damaged the city. Angra’s city centre managed to preserve its 15th- and 16th-century road network, as well as its inventoried buildings. Use of traditional building materials and techniques is encouraged in rehabilitation projects, without prejudice to technological advances.
This religious function contributed to the development of the monumental character of the city’s central zone, where the cathedral of Santíssimo Salvador da Sé, the churches of the Misericórdia and Espírito Santo, and the convents of the Franciscans and the Jesuits were all constructed in the Baroque style.
Angra was officially raised to the status of city on 21 August 1534; during the same year, it became the seat of the Archbishop of the Azores.

The Angra do Heroísmo Museum is a geo-referenced museum, where the local, regional, national and world plans intersect and complete each other, as the strategic location and history insert the Azores islands into a global political context and, within this, the Terceira island and the city of Angra with its centralities.

Luís da Silva Ribeiro Library
The Luís da Silva Ribeiro Public Library and Regional Archive is one of three public libraries and regional archives in the Autonomous Region of the Azores. Based in Angra do Heroísmo, its jurisdiction extended to the three islands of the central group, Graciosa, Terceira and São Jorge, which, until the advent of the current autonomous regime, constituted the Autonomous District of Angra do Heroísmo.

The D. Amélia desserts are, without a doubt, the sweetest recreation of the royal visit of D. Carlos and D. Amélia to the island of Terceira, in the Azores, in 1901.

History tells that these sweets are an adaptation of a recipe that already exists on this island of the so-called Bolo das Índias. As you can imagine, it was the spices of the time, brought by the sailors, that marked the flavours of the sweets - and that shows the importance of Angra, and its port, in the time of the Discoveries. Thus, even today it is possible to feel the cinnamon and nutmeg in the candy, which was shaped like a cake. However, it was in 1901 that they got the name Queijadas Dona Amélia when they served to honour the visit of Queen D. Amélia and King D. Carlos to the island of Terceira. The size has decreased, from cake to cheesecake, but its importance has remained forever, being something that is served almost everywhere on the island of Terceira.
