At the edge of the tropical tree line of Lagoa das Furnas there is a charming lake in the middle of São Miguel Island. Emerging from this fairytale landscape is the slim tower of a neo-Gothic church that dates to 1882. What began as a testament to the ailing spouce of a wealthy Azorean gardener and amateur botanist, ended up as one of the most evocative churches in the whole archipelago.
