Faial Island - Horta

​The 21 km in length and 14 km at the maximum width provide the 173.1 sq. km of the island of Faial with a pentagonal shape. The island became a crucial centre for telecommunications between North America and Europe and was done via submarine cables that passed by Horta, whose first station dates back to 1893. Aviation also took advantage of the privileged location of Faial for the stopover of the first sea planes crossing the North Atlantic. To this day Faial has benefited from its geographic location.
The Horta Marina, opened in 1986, is one of the world’s most famous harbours.
