Ponta Delgada, capital of São Miguel Island from 1522, with a population of about 60.000 inhabitants, is the main political and administrative centre of the Region and the seat of the Regional government.This municipality is the largest place in the Azores. |
This city is located along a bay on the island's south coast. Boasting many impressive churches, convents and majestic white houses, visitors are constantly reminded of its wealthy and illustrious past, when the port was a crucial staging post between Europe and the New World during the Age of Discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries. |  | |
