Some of the most prominent buildings include the Town Hall, Carlos Machado Museum, Santa Catarina Palace, Fort Sao Bras and the Parish Church of Sao Sebastiao.

Shopping

The use of local materials and old patterns characterizes the handicrafts of Sao Miguel. Scrimshaw, wicker products, lace, embroideries and liqueurs make popular souvenirs. Main shopping areas include the Sol Mar Shopping Center, the Ponta Delgada Center and the Casa Regional Ilha Verde, specializing in island souvenirs.
