The Church of São Pedro is located in the parish of Ponta Delgada in the municipality of Santa Cruz das Flores, on the island of Flores, in the Azores.
History
The primitive parish church of Ponta Delgada was erected in the Ermida de Sant'Ana, a temple referred to by Gaspar Frutuoso at the end of the 16th century, but which has now disappeared.
According to tradition, the current parish church of São Pedro was built using the remains of a primitive hermitage of the same invocation, the second oldest in the parish, along with the Hermitage of Santo Amaro (next to the primitive housing nucleus, next to a grotto where there was a spring), and with which it coexisted at the end of the 17th century. This chapel of Santo Amaro has disappeared, although it is known that it was located further north of the current settlement, on a hill that still bears the name of Santo Amaro.
The construction of the Church of São Pedro took place from 1763, on the initiative of Father Francisco de Fraga e Almeida, possessor of a great fortune and former vicar and ecclesiastical magistrate in Flores and Corvo, who in 1764 left a legacy of 100$000 réis to the Confraria de São Pedro, with the obligation to celebrate a mass for the intention of his soul on the day of the inauguration of the temple.
The date of completion of the works is unknown, but in 1774 work was still being carried out on the carving of its altars.
Nowadays, it underwent restoration work between 1971 and 1975.
Characteristics
From the outside it only has a bell tower.
Inside, there is a main altar in gilded carving and imitating marble, sometimes greenish, sometimes brown, flanked by two smaller ones, with an image of Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres standing out on one of them.
