Regional Secretariat of Education and Training

The Palácio Bettencourt houses this regional education authority right in the heart of Angra do Heroísmo — and the building itself is worth a look even if bureaucracy isn't your thing. The grand historic architecture on Rua da Rosa gives it a charm you wouldn't expect from a government office. It oversees education and training across the Azores region, making it a landmark of both civic and architectural interest.
