3. I am a city on a bay. And on the hills. Back in the 16th century my bishop was also bishop of all of Brazil and Africa. I am on the main island of the country's most visited archipelago. Royal exiles have been staying here since the 19th century. The last emperor of Austria-Hungary died here. And I grow my own bananas...

    Ponta Delgada
    Angra do Heroismo
