Located in the then suburb in the face of Porta dos Ferreiros, Igreja da Miseric\u00f3rdia is one of the most imposing buildings of the Baroque Era. Despite the documented existence of a former church, the building we can currently admire is an 18th century construction. It is a longitudinal plant church, of a monumental scale and a single nave; its main fa\u00e7ade is locked by a baroque \u201cempena\u201d, typically cut and flanked by two recessed bell towers. In its center one can appreciate an arched doorway, framed by very typical baroque ornaments. The fa\u00e7ade integrates the royal arms of King Jo\u00e3o V, as it was a custom in every \u201cIgreja da Miseric\u00f3rdia\u201d, always instituted by a monarch. At the top of the main fa\u00e7ade a niche houses the image of Nossa Senhora da Miseric\u00f3rdia. The original complex of the Miseric\u00f3rdia da Guarda included, as in all Portuguese Miseric\u00f3rdias, the Consistory Room, where the brothers gathered and made the decisions concerning the management of the institution, the hospital with two wards, one for men and other for women and a small cemetery. From the initial complex, only the cloister and the pharmacy remain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoria_ponto_interesse":[235],"duracao":[],"estacao_do_ano":[],"grupo_de_viagem":[],"tipo_de_experiencia":[236],"class_list":["post-10075","ponto_de_interesse","type-ponto_de_interesse","status-publish","hentry","categoria_ponto_interesse-monuments-heritage","tipo_de_experiencia-heritage"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
