Made of plastered and whitewashed stone masonry, it has a rectangular plan with a chancel that is also rectangular but slightly narrower than the main body. The body of the sacristy is attached to the left side facade of the main body of the hermitage. The facade is torn by a door with a straight lintel, topped by a small quadrangular window. Both the door and the window have a small cornice to top off the lintel.

The church dates to the primitive Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, built between 1460 and 1474, on the initiative of Álvaro Martins Homem, one of the first settlers of Angra. In the same period, he was also responsible for the construction of the original Hermitage of São Salvador, now the Cathedral.

It dates back to a primitive thatched hermitage, built on land belonging to Jorge Withon, a coeval member of the island's settlement. It was one of the temples looted and burned down in Horta, in August 1597, by Sir Walter Raleigh, of the fleet under the command of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex.

This was the original parish church, the first in Vila do Porto. Made of plastered and whitewashed stone masonry, it has a rectangular plan with the chancel, slightly narrower, also rectangular. The body of the sacristy, with a quadrangular plan, is attached to the main chapel, on the left side.

The Church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição Velha was founded in 1534 as the Church of Nossa Senhora da Misericórdia and was at the time the second largest temple in Lisbon after the Jerónimos Monastery. The earthquake of 1755 destroyed the old church, but not its façade, which is, together with the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower, one of the most beautiful Manueline structures to have survived the great earthquake. In 2013-14, the church was restored with an investment of 1.1 million euros.

This temple dedicated to the evocation of Our Lady of Hope, despite not being a parish in its own right, performs this function given the distance from the village of Norte Pequeno to the parish headquarters. The blessing of this temple took place in 1963.

It dates back to a hermitage dedicated to Our Lady of Purification, which existed there at the end of the 15th century. On June 4, 1507, two months before the settlement became a town, construction began on a parish church. Modeled after the Church of São Miguel Archangel, in Vila Franca do Campo, the work was entrusted to the Biscayan master builder Juan de la Peña for 140 thousand réis.

Regarding its establishment FRUCTUOSO records: "Baltazar Velho de Andrade [(who was sergeant-major of Santa Maria)], by public deed of March 8, 1617, gave the necessary assets to build the hermitage of Nossa Senhora da Glória."

It dates back to a primitive hermitage built by the captain of the grantee João Falcão de Sousa, as recorded by FRUTUOSO about this character: "Already on November 16, 1653, he had given assets to the hermitage of Nossa Senhora da Graça, which he had erected on his farm."

The primitive church of Nossa Senhora da Graça is mentioned by Gaspar Frutuoso, who celebrates its festival annually on the 8th of September, even as its first vicar, Father Barabam. This would certainly have been a very modest temple, with loose stone walls and a thatched roof.
