Cais da Silveira, Maritime pier in Angra do Heroísmo, Terceira Island, Portugal
Located in the Bay of Fanal, Cais da Silveira extends into the ocean near Monte Brasil, protected by high basalt cliffs of volcanic origin.
The wharf, established in the 15th century, served as a loading point for citrus fruits destined for European markets during the orange trade period.
The adjacent Caracol tower, shaped like a snail shell, functions as an observation point for monitoring vessels approaching the southern coast of Terceira.
The location serves both as a maritime infrastructure for local boats and as a recognized swimming area for residents and visitors throughout the year.
The pier sits at the intersection of ancient trade routes and modern maritime activities, featuring traditional Azorean architectural elements in its construction.
