Continue to Campo de São Francisco, one of the most emblematic squares in the Azores and the largest on São Miguel Island. Surrounded by historic buildings, this area evokes the atmosphere of the Azores in the 19th century.

Then, head to the Ermida da Mãe de Deus and enjoy panoramic views over the Port of Ponta Delgada and much of the city.

End the tour with a visit to Cerâmica Vieira, the first ceramic factory in the Azores. Here, you can observe the entire production process of traditional Azorean clay pottery.
