This church is called Igreja da Misericórdia and it's situated right in the centre of the city. It dates from the 16th century but it had to be rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755 and then again it received some works in the 19th century.In the facade we can still see the royal crown.It is said that a local has tried to destroyed it in the beginning of the Republic(1910) but he hasn't succeeded.
