The work commemorates the 150th anniversary of the current Paços do Concelho building, gathering historical and documentary information about one of the city's most important institutional symbols. The publication aims to enhance and disseminate local history, promoting knowledge about the construction and evolution process of this building, which has housed the main municipal bodies since the 19th century.
The donation also represents a recognition of the importance of preserving collective memory and documentary heritage associated with the history of Angra do Heroísmo. The President of the Angra do Heroísmo Municipal Council, Fátima Amorim, emphasized the initiative's significance: "The preservation of our history is essential for understanding the municipality's journey and valuing the heritage we receive from previous generations. This publication is an important contribution to that knowledge".
