Besides the church, the adjacent streets with their houses and shops are also worth a visit!

The "Church of Mercy" is from the 16th century. This church, which survived all earthquakes, is the starting point for the annual large Easter processions. Through the Manueline main portal you get into the decorated with Azulejo tableaus interior. Noteworthy is a Baroque triumphal arch, lavishly decorated with floral motifs and Talha Dourada (gilded wood carving).
