The hospital and church of St. Mark, as we admire them today, date from the 18th century and were built according to a design by Carlos Amarante. The square where the buildings are located is also named after this architect. The vertical emphasis of the Baroque church, with its two towers, stands out clearly from the horizontality of the adjacent hospital, which is symmetrically adjacent and gives the entire complex a harmonious overall impression.

The Hospital and Church of St. Mark, as we admire them today, date from the 18th century and were designed by Carlos Amarante. The square where the buildings are located is also named after this architect. The vertical emphasis of the Baroque church, with its two towers, contrasts sharply with the horizontality of the adjacent hospital, which adjoins it symmetrically and gives the entire complex a harmonious overall impression.

On the exterior, the life-size figures of the apostles are particularly striking, setting the rhythm of the upper balustrade. Halfway up the facade, we see the image of St. Mark in a niche. A church and hospice had previously existed on the same site, built by Dom Diogo de Sousa in the 16th century. The hospice primarily served the poor, pilgrims, and travelers who stayed overnight in the city of Braga.
