Museums
Convento de São Boaventura
The Flores Museum was created in 1977 by Regional Legislative Decree No. 25/77/A, under the name of the Ethnography House of Flores Island. This designation was maintained until 1991, when it was renamed Flores Museum by Regional Legislative Decree No. 4/91/A. Its founder and first director was João António Gomes Vieira, a native of Flores, who was primarily responsible for conceiving the collections the Museum currently holds. These collections cover themes such as weaving, dairy products, agriculture, livestock, fishing, whaling, navigation, and sacred art. In 1986, it incorporated the Casa Pimentel de Mesquita, where an exhibition dedicated to linen and and wool spinning technology was installed, in addition to furniture from the 18th to 20th centuries. This house museum operated until 2008, when it began to house the Municipal Library. From 1993, the Museum’s headquarters became the old Convent of São Boaventura, where it remains to this day. In addition to this, the Flores Museum also has the Boqueirão Whaling Factory as an annex.

Miradouro da Pedrinha
An elevated area with a view over the valley of Lajes das Flores. You can observe the village of Lajes, the surrounding green mountains, pasture lands, and in the background, you can see the dike known as Rocha dos Frades. This type of structure forms when magma fills a fault and solidifies deep underground. In the case of the Frades dike, the surrounding material has been eroded, leaving it exposed amidst green pastures.
