37.82380; -25.46245
The Miradouro de Santa Iria is a Portuguese viewpoint located in Porto Formoso, municipality of Ribeira Grande, on the Azorean island of SΓ£o Miguel.
This viewpoint located in front of Santa Iria Bay, on the north coast of the island, offers a view of the same coast and the town of Porto Formoso, close to Ribeira Grande. The landscape seen from here is lush and green until it meets the sea.
It was on the slopes visible from this viewpoint that the Battle of Ladeira da Velha took place on August 3, 1831, when the troops of D. Pedro IV defeated those of his brother Miguel I of Portugal, opening the way to ConcessΓ£o of Γvora Monte, an event that put an end to the Civil War that took place between 1832 and 1834, between the liberal forces and the Miguelist forces.
