Named Praça Francisco Ornelas da Câmara, the small central square of Praia da Vitória was built in the 14th century. Dominated by the elegant building of the City Hall, it has the Statue of Liberty in the center.

Built in the 14th century and rebuilt after the 1614 earthquake, the Town Hall building retains its original design, and its interior is well worth a visit.

Started in the 15th century, it underwent several changes as a result of earthquakes and storms, incorporating styles, but keeping some Manueline details.

On a hill adjacent to the city, on the north side, a viewpoint was installed with spectacular views over the city and its surroundings.

In the center, at the end of the last century, an imposing monument to the “Immaculate Heart of Mary” was installed, executed in bronze by an Azorean sculptor.
