Igreja de Vila Nova - Terceira, Açores, Portugal - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

"O primitivo templo desta freguesia data do século XVI. Ao longo dos séculos, dada a necessidade de reparos e o aumento da população, impôs-se a construção de um novo templo, o que se materializou no último quartel do século XIX, vindo este a ser consagrado em 1882.
Este, por sua vez, foi presa de um violento incêndio em 1958, vindo a ser reedificado em 1961.
Do primitivo templo do século XVI resta apenas a pedra do degrau que separa a capela-mor do corpo da igreja."
