Monte Brasil Recreational Forest Reserve
The Museum of Angra do Heroísmo, in a joint collaboration with the Regional Directorate for Forest Resources, the Municipality of Angra do Heroísmo and the 1st Garrison Regiment, is promoting a new edition of Batteries under the Moonlight in the Monte Brasil Recreational Forest Reserve, as part of the Museum’s programme to publicize and conserve the artillery pieces on display there.
The event, which is free to attend, will begin at 6 p.m. with two tours (18:00 and 18:45) which will depart from the Sentry Box of the 1st Garrison Regiment, led by MAH senior technicians João Lemos and Joana Freitas. The theme is The Fortress of São João Baptista | Stories of Exile. At 20:00, there will be a short presentation by MAH senior technician Jaime Regalado on the defensive complex of Terceira Island during World War II in the area of Pico das Cruzinhas, during which the anti-aircraft batteries will be available for more detailed observation. The evening will end with a concert by the Fado Bravo group at Pico das Cruzinhas, at 22:00. The program allows for the possibility of enjoying an evening picnic, where visitors can choose to bring their own picnic basket or make use of the meal service available at the park by O Capote.
