  • Monte Brasil is the remnants of a tuff volcano (and peninsula) connecting the south coast of Terceira in the central Azores, overlooking the city of Angra do Heroísmo. Monte Brasil is flanked by two bays: the Bay of Angra (named for the city) to its east, and the Bay of Fanal to its west, and was used as a defensive point during the history of Angra, resulting in the construction of various forts and redoubts, including the Fortress of São João Baptista overlooking the city.

  • Le Monte Brasil est un promontoire remarquable, d'origine volcanique, sur l'île de Terceira, dans l'archipel des Açores. Il est situé sur la commune de Angra do Heroísmo. L'accès y est contrôlé et parfois limité, certaines zones étant utilisées par l'armée pour des exercices de tir. De la même façon qu'à Horta (sur Faial) ou Velas (sur São Jorge), la présence de ce petit volcan a permis la création d'un port naturel et la création de la ville. * Portail du volcanisme * Portail de la montagne * Portail des Açores (fr)
  • A península do Monte Brasil localiza-se na freguesia da Sé, na cidade e município de Angra do Heroísmo, na costa sul da ilha Terceira, nos Açores. É um cone vulcânico, com 205 m de altitude máxima, com a cratera afundada até 30 m de altitude e rodeada por cumeiras com 104 m, a norte, 159 m, a sul, e 198 m, a ocidente. É constituído por escórias vulcânicas e materiais piroclásticos finos, sobre basltos andesíticos no istmo, formando uma península proeminente da costa sul, que abriga o lugar e o porto da cidade de Angra do Heroísmo.
