Misericórdia Church

Trancoso

Trancoso

Although the Misericórdia charity in Trancoso was founded in the early 16th century, the complex we find today dates back to the 18th century. This late-baroque building consists of two twinned buildings. One of the church and office and the other is the vestry and corridor to the choir loft. Outside, there are two portals with a curved pediment with a stone coat of arms and inside there is a fine neoclassic chancel altarpiece.
