The Igreja da Misericórdia is a charming example of Manueline influence in religious buildings. This style was often used in churches, monasteries, palaces and castles long after the Manueline period had ended. The fine carvings on the altar, pulpit and canopy are particularly beautiful, but taken as a whole the interior is exquisite. Also worthy of note are two large 18th century canvasses and the decorative panels carried in religious processions. There is an interesting raised tribune, finely decorated with coloured marbled effect and a 17th century statue of St. Francis.
