Ruins of the Church of São Mateus, Ribeirinha

Highlight • Religious Site

In addition to the town's lighthouse, the ruins of the old church have also been left standing. These two witnesses of the severe earthquake in 1998 give an idea of the forces at work here. One side of the nave has collapsed completely, the pillars are still preserved on the other. This building is also not allowed to be entered because of the risk of collapse

Farol da Ribeirinha Ruins

Highlight • Monument

A #lostplace to stay. On the back wall, the time can be forgotten when looking at the sea. Here you are off the beaten track and has its peace. The lighthouse collapsed in the last earthquake and has not been rebuilt since.

September 29, 2022,Ruderi del Faro di Ribeirinha - Isola di Faial

The Ribeirinha lighthouse collapsed in 1998 following the earthquake of 9 July of that year. There seems to be a desire to rebuild it or, at least, to secure it. The church of San Matteo, in the village, followed the same fate.
