The Terreiro de St. João de Deus is dominated by the statue of the saint and the facade of the Misericórdia Church. The church has much to offer, such as the magnificent Manueline doorway and the vein-like tracery of the vaulting, (similar to that in the in the Our Lady of Visitation Church), the curious 17th century altar pieces on the side altars, the Sala do Despacho and the 18th century organ, fashioned by the hands of the Italian master D. Pascoal Caetano Olduvini. There is also an exquisite Pieta, a fine 15th century work of marble.
