St. Peter's Church is a building from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which took the place of an old temple from the sixteenth century. Inside, it features a statue of orgado from the sixteenth century. The ‘medieval’ parade known as Cavalhadas that takes place every year on June 29, St. Peter’s day, culminates in this church.

This church formed part of a Franciscan monastery built in the 17C. Its huge nave, built in Mannerist and Baroque styles, is decorated with opulent gilded woodwork, furniture made from jacaranda, and 18-century azulejos.

Fort Saint Blaise considered to be the most important example of military architecture of the 16th century and the most powerful fortification on the island, it was built on a point in the primitive berth of Ponta Delgada, with the function of its defense against attacks from pirates and corsairs, formerly frequent in this region of the Atlantic Ocean. A military museum occupies some of the buildings.
