SURVIVAL AGAINST THE ODDS
The Urzelina Tower - São Jorge
Urzelina in São Jorge is a definite must-visit spot.
The landscape is profoundly marked by the dramatic 1808 volcanic eruption which destroyed much of the original village, famously leaving only the church bell tower (Torre da Urzelina) standing amidst the solidified lava – a stark and much-photographed symbol of resilience.
A symbol of survival against the odds.
