The Manor of D. Violante do Canto ((ポルトガル語:Solar de D. Violante do Canto)), commonly known as the ''House of Dona Violante do Canto'' ((ポルトガル語:Casa de D. Violante do Canto)), is an urban manorhouse located in the civil parish of Sé , municipality of Angra do Heroísmo, in the Portguese island of Terceira, archipelago of the Azores. == History == The building was constructed sometime in the 16th century, as residence for D. Violante do Canto e Silva, heiress to the provisioner-of-arms. In the context of the 1580 Succession Crisis, after a visit by António, Prior of Crato (in his conflict with Philip of Spain for the Portuguese Crown) the Portuguese monarch thanked D. Violante for her support.〔 Yet, in 1583, after the capitulation of the island and arrival in Angra by Spanish troops, the house was selected as the residence of the Marquess of Santa Cruz.〔 D. Violante was taken to Spain, where she was obliged to marry Simão de Távora, from a important Portuguese family allied to the King of Spain.〔 Dr. Francisco Lourenço Valadão Júnior, secretary-general of the Civil Governor, order the installation (in 1940) of a plaque on the house to commemorate the second century of Portuguese independence.〔 In July 1962, the property was acquired by Sport Clube Lusitânia for 560,000 escudos, and paid-off by 1973 (through assistance of its members).〔 It is the current headquarters of the regional football club and local chapter (14) of the Sporting Clube de Portugal (using its colours/kit), as well as a delegation in Toronto, Canada. The building was classified as a ''Property of Public Interest'' under resolution 41/80 (11 June 1980), and included as part of the designated Historic Centre of Angra do Heroismo (resolution/article 57, subsection "a").〔〔GRA (24 August 2004)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manor of D.
