Located east of Comercio
Square on Rua da Alfândega, this 16th-century church is where an old 15th-century Jewish temple once stood.
The interior seen today, with just one nave, was rebuilt
after the earthquake of 1755, but the elaborate doorway survived the disaster, and is a brilliant example of early Manueline architecture.
It is decorated with angels, beasts, flowers, armillary
spheres, and the cross of the Order of Christ. Also shown is Our Lady of
Mercy sheltering King Manuel I and Queen Leonor beneath her stone mantle.
