A great surprise from Lurdes: the Cathedral of Angra do Heroísmo, at Terceira Island, Azores.(UNESCO)
"The Igreja do Santíssimo Salvador da Sé is the Cathedral of
the Azores. The Church is an
impressive building, built in the late 16th century. The main façade is
constituted by a church porch, a high fronton with a clock, a main bell tower
complemented by two lateral bell towers, with the spire pinnacles covered in
blue and white tiles laid in a diamond pattern. The altar has a valuable carved
silver frontispiece dating from the 18th century and polychrome azulejo tiles.
Worldwide reputed for its outstanding acoustics, the Cathedral has become a
favourite recording place." In: Portugal Attraction
