Porto Judeu (Pass By)

Among the best-known legends that seek to justify the toponymy, it is mentioned that Jácome de Bruges, first captain of the donatário, landed here on January 1, pressed by bad weather and the need for shelter on that date. As the harbor inlet is small, offering no great shelter, and because at that time everything that was bad was called "Jew," it is said that the anchorage was for that reason called Porto Judeu

Igreja Matriz de Sao Sebastiao

The Church of São Sebastião, founded in the fifteenth century, has undergone several transformations over the centuries. Initially with Gothic characteristics, it was expanded in the sixteenth century with the addition of Manueline chapels. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, further expansions included the sacristy and baptistery. In 1789, a fire destroyed its interior, and reconstruction in 1795 brought a Baroque style. In the twentieth century, from 1964, a restoration process began to recover original elements. The 1812 inventory revealed a rich collection of silver ornaments, of which few objects remain today. The church is an important testimony to the evolution of religious architecture in the Azores.

Biscoitos

Biscoitos is a parish in the municipality of Praia da Vitória, located on the north coast. The locality was known as Biscoitos do Porto da Cruz, as it developed in the lava lands (the biscuits) located around Porto da Cruz, once an important fishing and whaling port. The lower part of the parish is one of the main wine-growing centers of the Azores, constituting both an area of protected landscape integrated in the Terceira Natural Park and a demarcated area of wine production in the traditional curraletas where liqueur white wines are produced from the cultivation of traditional grape varieties, especially verdelho.
