Historic Churches & Chapels
This collection highlights the architectural and religious heritage of São Jorge, featuring structures ranging from the 15th-century Mother Church of Velas to remote hermitages in coastal fajãs. These sites showcase the Azorean Baroque style, characterized by ornate gilded woodcarvings and traditional blue-and-white tilework. Many buildings, such as the Igreja de São Mateus in Urzelina, serve as historical markers of the island's volcanic history and the resilience of its local communities.
Ermida de Nossa Senhora do Socorro
An 18th-century chapel in Biscoitos, rebuilt after the devastating 1757 earthquake. It represents the traditional rural religious architecture of the Calheta municipality.
Igreja de São Mateus
Located in Urzelina, this site is famous for its surviving bell tower, which remained standing after the 1808 volcanic eruption destroyed the rest of the original structure.
