Angra, a seaport town on the S. side of the island of Terceira, one of the Azores; pop. 13,000. It is well built on a hill rising from the water's edge, has wide but dirty streets, and is generally the residence of the governor of the Azores, as well as of the consuls of England, France, and Holland. The harbor is protected by two forts, but, though the best in the Azores, it is exposed to all winds from the S. S. W. by S. to the E., and on the approach of a gale from this quarter vessels are obliged to put to sea for safety. The principal exports are wine and grain.
