The island
Terceira is one of the central islands of the Azores, in the North Atlantic. From above it is a broad oval of volcanic ground, with high calderas and ridges in the interior and a gentler coastal fringe. Much of its lower land is divided by stone walls into a fine patchwork of green pastures.
Angra do Heroísmo, on the south coast, is the island's historic centre. Its streets follow an early planned grid laid out in the age of Atlantic navigation, beside a sheltered bay protected by the extinct volcanic peninsula of Monte Brasil. Praia da Vitória, on the east coast, faces a wide bay near the Lajes air base.
Angra's historic centre has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983, recognised for its role as a port of call between Europe and the Americas. A Terceira Island map poster brings together the island's volcanic interior, its field walls and the orderly streets of Angra.

A rounded volcanic peninsula projects into the sea beside Angra and shelters its bay with a distinctive knob of high ground.
Stone walls divide the lower slopes into small fields. From above they form a dense texture that spreads across much of the island.

Why Terceira Island
Terceira means home to many Azoreans and their families abroad, and a map of it holds that tie in one clear form. The combination of a historic grid and open volcanic land makes it rewarding to look at up close.
