Conceição, Ribeira Grande — the town across the stream, a parish since 1707, with the old Franciscan convent and the old fish market

Conceição is the half of the town of Ribeira Grande that grew up on the western bank of the stream after the settlement became a vila. A parish by royal charter of 21 February 1707, it keeps the 17th-century Franciscan church, the procession of the Tertiaries in Lent and the emigration museum in the old fish market.
