Solar da Madre de Deus, Manor house in Santa Luzia, Angra do Heroísmo, Portugal.

Solar da Madre de Deus stands in the Alto das Covas district, combining urban residential features with a large northern rural estate property layout.

João de Bettencourt de Vasconcelos, Commander of Angra, built this mansion during the second quarter of the 17th century, incorporating an existing smaller house.

The manor contains a chapel dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Madre de Deus, established in 1727 with authorization from the Bishop of Angra Diocese.

The building now serves as the official residence for the Representative of the Republic in the Azores archipelago, following extensive restoration work.

The property features a historic courtyard gate, fountain, and stone pavement marked with dates corresponding to modifications by previous owners.
