Centro Urbano de Velas
The sunny, picturesque Vila de Velas, peopled in the late 15th century, is an obligatory passing point during the visit to the "Fajãs Island". The church of Saint Jorge, the mother church and the church of Our Lady of Conceição are well worth a visit. The Town Hall, the Portão do Mar (Sea's Gate) and the Museum of Religious Art are also imposing.
