Praia da Vitória
Located in the eastern part of Terceira Island, in the municipality of Praia da Vitória, almost half of the area is dedicated to agricultural activity, with the typical Azorean mosaic marking the landscape. In the 15th century, the location then called "Praia" (Beach) was the seat of the island's captaincy, representing an important commercial warehouse in the Azores. In 1841, the town was shaken by a violent earthquake, seeing much of its heritage destroyed or damaged. The construction of the new port and the commercial and military airport, already in the 20th century, gave new life to the municipality. Tourism represents an important source of income for the municipality, which offers guided tours to caves and diving sites, bathing and various water sports.
