Azores Archipelago

Legend has it that the colours of the two lakes were created by the tears of a princess and her lover when the king forbade their romance. The king allowed one last visit between the princess and the young shepherd. At this meeting the princess and her young lover shed tears that formed the two lakes, each with a colour matching their eyes.

The Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Paz offers wonderful views over Vila Franca do Campo and the surrounding countryside. The church itself has a lot to take in, including beautiful ceramics depicting religious scenes.

The gates marked the city's entry point. They were removed from their original location due to the construction of Avenida Infante D. Henrique (Prince Henry Avenue) and were placed where they now stand in 1952.
