The Misericórdia Church was founded in Lourinhã in 1586 and the site contains buildings from three different eras. At the eastern end, the 16th century Espírito Santo Chapel has a fine Manueline entrance, so has the central church from 1626. An 18th century hospital was built at the western end. The main interest in the complex lies in the paintings displayed, which include ‘John the Evangelist on the Island of Patmos’ and ‘John the Baptist in Meditation’ by the mysterious 16th century painter called the Master of Lourinhã. Works by Lourenço de Salzedo, Francisco de Campos and Diogo Teixeira are also exhibited.
