"Dominating the square of Duque d’Avila, the imposing parish church, Igreja Matriz São Salvador, has a beautiful Baroque façade looking towards the sea. The construction works started already in 1680, but it was only in 1760 when the church was consecrated. The church is part of a former Jesuit college, for which the foundation was laid in the beginning of the 16th century and which today houses the Town Hall and the Museu da Horta."
