Around The World: Challenge - #34/4 | Açores | ESP / ENG

The image corresponds to "Las Portas da Cidade" (The City Gates) which is the core of Ponta Delgada, the capital of the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. The square is an example of the architecture of all the Portuguese islands, with its black stone coffered ceilings of volcanic origin, as well as the floor typical of Portuguese cities, made of black white cobblestones forming geometric figures in a classical style.

The city gates are what still remain of what used to be the entrance to Ponta Delgada from the port, as the sea line reached practically to the arches that formed part of the entrance structure.

The photograph is my contribution for the Around the World contest, organised by @bucipuci.

La imagen corresponde a "Las Portas da Cidade" (Las Puertas de la Ciudad) que es el corazón de Ponta Delgada, la capital del archipiélago portugués de Las Azores. La plaza es un ejemplo de la arquitectura de todas las islas portuguesas, en la que destaca los artesonados de piedra negra de origen volcánico, así como el suelo típico de las ciudades de Portugal, de adoquines blancos negros formando figuras geométricas de corte clásico.

Las puertas de la ciudad es lo que aún se conserva de lo que era la entrada a Ponta Delgada desde el puerto, ya que la linea de mar llegaba prácticamente hasta los arcos que formaban parte de la estructura de entrada.

La fotografía es mi participación para el concurso Around the World, organizado por @bucipuci.
