The Capela da Misericórdia is situated in the oldest part of Castro Verde, near the Santa Casa da Misericórdia. Originally built in the 16th century, it has been renovated several times over the ages, but has retained its tall bell-tower and triumphal arch. Both the main chapel and the central nave of the church are decorated with floral motifs, the main characteristic of this small place of worship. The image of Senhor dos Passos (representing Our Lord walking to the Calvary) is still used for pilgrimages to the Chapel of St. Andrew (at about 8 miles from Castro Verde). Guided tours are available.
