This selection highlights the island's volcanic heritage, from the 1808 eruption site at Urzelina to the rugged cliffs of Ponta dos Rosais. Key sites include the unique lagoon at Fajã de Santo Cristo, the Baroque interiors of Santa Bárbara church, and the natural basalt pools of Fajã do Ouvidor, showcasing the geological diversity and historical architecture of this central Azorean island.

São Jorge Island is defined by its dramatic volcanic ridge, a series of over 200 scoria cones stretching along its central spine. This list highlights key geological features like the Bocas de Fogo, site of the destructive 1808 eruption that impacted Urzelina. These peaks and fissure systems, including the Manadas complex, showcase the island's basaltic history and provide vantage points over the coastal fajãs created by ancient lava flows.

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.
