Why are you reporting this puzzle?

In Today's Daily Jigsaw Puzzle, we visit the Igreja de São Roque (Mother Church), located in the parish of São Roque on São Miguel Island, Azores. The church has been a cornerstone of the community since its construction in the 16th century.

The construction was a collective effort supported by local landowners, merchants, and fishermen who thrived during São Miguel’s prosperity as a key Atlantic trade stop.

The church served as a place of worship and a communal hub for education and gatherings.

São Miguel, the largest island in the Azores, is known for its lush landscapes, volcanic craters, and hot springs. It became a critical stopover for explorers and traders crossing the Atlantic in the 15th and 16th centuries.

São Roque parish was home to a close-knit community of settlers from mainland Portugal, who adapted to the island’s fertile volcanic soil and abundant marine resources. Agriculture, mainly maize and wheat, alongside fishing and later whaling, were the main livelihoods of the parishioners. Over time, these industries shaped the social and economic life of the area ♥
