The Misericórdia Church is dedicated to Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres and is built on the site of the old parish church of São Nicolau. Although the order was established in Santa Maria da Feira in 1594, work did not start on the present church until around 1690. The church is entered via an imposing 17th century decorative stairway with a beautiful ornamental fountain. Inside, the church has a single nave, a ribbed and vaulted ceiling and a Baroque main altar.
