The Palácio dos Capitães-Generais, once a Jesuit College, hosted the Regency in the name of Queen Maria II, with D. Pedro as Regent, between 1829 and 1832. It was here, in its halls, that the first laws of Portugal's constitutional government were written.

Cultural Heritage

The cultural roots are the beating heart of a people’s identity, and the historical and cultural heritage that shaped the island is palpable in its streets and among its people.

Stop wondering ...

The city center of Angra do Heroísmo was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, due to its unique urban layout and for being a testimony of Portuguese history and Atlantic navigation. Each monument tells a new story, transforming Angra into a true monument city.

Star living!

Culture is ingrained in every corner. A multitude of cultural institutions and associations, theater groups, and exhibition spaces, both temporary and permanent, contribute to the dissemination and promotion of Terceira Island’s cultural wealth.
