Parish of Jardim do Mar Area: 2,55 km2 Population: 204 inhabitants (Census of 2011) Population density: 98.8 inhab / km2 Distance to the county seat: 5.9 km Story It began the Garden of the Sea for being a curate dependent on the Prazeres or the Paul, seeming that it was first filial curation of the Prazeres and after Paul of the Sea, dating to its creation of the second quarter of century XVIII. It is a fajã of formation unknown and probably previous to the discovery of the Island. The beauty of the place, once a mantle of wildflowers, will be the origin of the name and is reflected in other place names like Sítio das Rosas. At the seashore, where once there was a Fountain, the ruins of the ancient mill of this morgadio, with tiles that served as a cover for the tanks, are proof of the wealth of the parish. Symbolic marks of the past are also some prismatic chimneys and the house that surrounds the Church N. S. of the Rosary. Framed by the sea and constrained by the rock (where it seems to end abruptly), the parish preserves the secular quiet and quietness, scattered in the typical narrow streets and in the low house, generally of old traces, where the chimneys gain decorative dimension worthy of note by the variety of its forms. This parish is bounded by the parishes of Paul do Mar, Prazeres and Estreito da Calheta. Historic Property Built Parish Church of Our Lady of the Rosary On November 15, 1734, a parish was created in the parish of Jardim do Mar, with its headquarters in the Chapel Nossa Senhora do Rosário already existing, which was entirely rebuilt in 1786. Later, the parish priest César Martinho Fernandes began the construction of a new church with the same oracle, and was blessed on September 19, 1907 by Bishop Manuel Agostinho Barreto. The parish church is a "replica" of Notre Dame de Paris, 20th century. Chapel of Our Lady of Mercy "(...) founded in the year 1736 by the morgado João de Couto Cardoso, who in 1825 was rebuilt by his successor in the morgadio Francisco João de Vasconcelos de Couto Cardoso. During the period of reconstruction of the church, the Morgadia Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Piedade had served as a parish seat. In it was observed a small image of Saint Anthony, carved on a basalt splinter from a collapse that saved the life of a walker.
