アゾレス諸島の伝統的な風車
Traditional Windmills
The Azores archipelago features a diverse collection of traditional windmills, reflecting the region's agricultural history and Flemish architectural influences. These structures vary by island: Pico is known for its iconic red-capped stone towers set against volcanic vineyards, while Graciosa features windmills with distinctive red conical roofs. Historically used for grinding grain, these restored landmarks illustrate the evolution of rural engineering across São Miguel, Santa Maria, and Pico, often positioned on coastal ridges to capture Atlantic winds.
