IMPÉRIOS
Terceira’s Colourful Tradition
Scattered across Terceira Island, you'll find these colourful little structures called Impérios. They're not just charming to look at, they're at the heart of Azorean culture and faith.
Each Império is dedicated to the Holy Spirit and plays a big role in the Festas do Divino Espírito Santo, a centuries-old tradition with roots in the 15th century.
With over 70 Impérios across the island, they offer a unique window into Terceira's soul.
