The Igreja da Misericórdia church of Faro dates back to the 16th century and is located just in front of Arco da Vila, in the very centre of Faro. Its portico in Manueline style (an architectonic style unique to Portugal) is the only remain from the old chapel which collapsed in 1755.

The floorpan follows the shape of a Greek-cross with three naves and a central dome.
