Founded in the first quarter of the 16th century, it is believed to be one of the oldest churches of Misericórdia. From the initial artistic form there remains a Manueline doorway formed by two archivolts, profusely decorated and crowned by a pinecone with the inscription "Casa da Misericórdia" (House of Mercy).
The main façade was completed/renovated in the 17th century with a mannerist portal. It has a single nave and, in the main altar, there is an altarpiece in carved wood and with paintings representing the Seven Corporal Works of Mercy.
