Angra do Heroísmo GCTE is an Azorean city located on the south coast of the island of Terceira, with 7,953 inhabitants, seat of the Municipality of Angra do Heroísmo with an area of 239 km² and 33,799 inhabitants (2021), subdivided into 19 parishes. The municipality is bordered to the northeast by the municipality of Praia da Vitória, being bathed by the Atlantic Ocean in all other directions. The city is the historical (ecclesiastical) capital of the Azores and the seat of the diocese of Angra, which includes the entire archipelago. The richness of its history and built heritage led to the Central Zone of the City of Angra do Heroísmo being classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on December 7, 1983. The city is home to the 1st Garrison Regiment, one of the oldest Portuguese military units.
The site chosen by the first settlers was a ridge of hills, which opened, in an amphitheatre, over two bays, separated by the extinct volcano of Monte Brasil. One of them, the so-called 'cove', had a depth for the anchorage of vessels of greater tonnage, the naus. It had the advantage of protection from all winds, except those from the southeast.
The first dwellings were built on the slope above this cove, in steep streets with a tortuous layout dominated by a hill. In this, on the land side, far from the sea, a castle was started with the function of defence, similar to medieval European urbanism: the so-called Castle of the Mills.
By letter passed by the Infanta Dna. On April 2, 1474, the captaincy of Angra was donated to Álvaro Martins Homem, who upon taking possession of it began the work of the so-called Ribeira dos Moinhos, taking advantage of the strength of its waters and laying the foundations for the future economic development of the village. From the protection provided by the Castle of the Mills (now Alto da Memória), the houses accompanied the Ribeira dos Moinhos to the bay, originally through winding streets and alleys - streets of Pisão, Garoupinha, Santo Espírito, Alcaçarias - whose toponymy preserved the memory of their economic activities. Martins Homem started the so-called Captain's House, later added by João Vaz Corte Real, who also carried out the channelling of the Ribeira, the construction of the primitive Cais da Alfândega, the defensive wall of the bay of Angra and the Hospital of Santo Espírito.
