We ended our second day’s tour with Gui and Azores 38 N with some striking panoramic views of Angra do Heroismo, the small UNESCO World Heritage city on Terceira Island where we stayed.
Old buildings are protected. They can be extensively remodeled on the inside but the exterior must be preserved. I’m not sure how far this preservation extends.
There is a beautiful mixture of old and new in the city. And lest you think all the churches are traditional, here’s one that breaks the mold.
The city panorama is beautiful!
They knew how to combine the old with the new …
Your top photo makes the city look bigger than I would have expected. I love that blue trimmed church in the center. That newer church looks like it blends it.
The blue spire on the church is rather interesting to see!
A beautiful view of the city. I like the mixture of old and new, it tells a great story.
Quite idyllic!
