One of Ponta Delgada’s principal town squares is Praça Gonçalo Velho Cabral. The statue of the island’s discoverer, Gonçalo Velho Cabral, is located here along with the famous Portas da Cidade, another must-see attraction in Ponta Delgada. The city gate from the eighteenth century features three arches constructed with local stones and in the traditional Azorean style. The city gate was relocated to its current site in 1952 from a neighboring spot where it had originally stood in 1783.
