Ponta Delgada's 19th century, arched city gates are an excellent place to start a walking tour to view the town's other main attractions. Two masterpieces of 16th century Gothic style are the Mosteiro da Esparança and Igreja do Santo Cristo, home of the legendary statue Christ of Miracles. The churches of Santa Barbara and Sant'Ana are two of the Azores' most gorgeous examples of Baroque architecture.
Other points of interest include: the city's two forts, Forte de São Brás, once used to defend against pirates, and the popular viewpoint, Mãe de Deus. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, the 19th century Sant'Ana Palace is now a government building, and the Carlos Machado Museum holds an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures, engravings, and ornamental tiles.
