Ponta Delgada
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 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.
