Igreja de Nossa Senhora das Mercês e Misericórdia
Igreja de Nossa Senhora das Mercês e Misericórdia, Colonial church in Ouro Preto, Brazil.
The church features a central tower with a soapstone portico entrance and displays a triangular pediment with decorative elements on its facade.
Construction of the church began in 1771, with master builder Manuel Francisco de Araújo designing the central tower that was added around 1840.
The medallion on the church portico depicts the Virgin Mary extending her mantle, reflecting the protection offered to enslaved people during colonial times.
Located on Rua Padre Rolim, the church maintains irregular opening hours and visitors should contact local authorities to arrange interior access.
From the stone wall surrounding the church grounds, visitors can observe the neighboring Igreja de São Francisco de Paula during sunset hours.
