Ajuda da Bretanha, Ponta Delgada — a parish since 2002, with a church that has had a curate since 1527

One of the newest parishes in the municipality was born in 2002 from the division of the old Bretanha, on the north-west coast. The church of Nossa Senhora da Ajuda already had a curate in the 16th century, and at Pico Vermelho there is a windmill rebuilt little more than a decade ago.
