Across the street is a statue of Vasco de Gama, first European and Portuguese explorer to reach India by sea. You have to pay to enter but it is for a good cause and just a Euro. In exchange the guide tells you a lot about the history of the place and some very interesting facts about the island. Very interesting and church with an extended history. Has survived see earthquakes and is presently being restored again. Wonderful architecture and mission. At the time I was there, it was not possible to visit. Beautiful, majestic blue color church.Near statuette Vasco da Gama and beach. Ticket 2eur. Worst visit and majestic Catholic Church. Neat, majestic and ancient. Unfortunately, I have not been inside, but I think it is very there. Some of it was not open to the public when I visited. Absolutely beautiful. Half of the exhibits were closed to the public (catacombs, upper floors...) It is smaller than you may think. I recommend going to the Angra Museum instead, which hides a chapel and cloister. Entrance 2€ Pretty impressive place Kids friendly introduction: This big blue-and-white church sits right by the harbor and looks like it’s watching over the sea! It was built in the 18th century as part of a hospital and charity center where people helped the sick and the poor – that’s why it’s called Misericórdia (which means “mercy”). It has a baroque front with twin towers and fancy decorations, showing the style of the time. Sailors and travelers used to stop here to pray for safe journeys. It’s not just a church – it’s a piece of Angra’s heart, where faith and kindness met history.
