Igreja da Misericórdia do Porto, Baroque church in central Porto, Portugal

The Igreja da Misericórdia do Porto stands on Rua das Flores street, displaying white stone walls and ornate decorative elements across its exterior surface.

The church structure dates from the 16th century, while architect Nicolau Nasoni redesigned its facade in the 1700s to incorporate baroque architectural elements.

The museum within the church contains the Renaissance Flemish painting Fons Vitae, depicting Portuguese King Manuel I and Queen Leonor before a religious scene.

Visitors can access both the church and its museum from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM at Rua das Flores 15, with guided tours explaining the architectural features.

The building combines religious functions with a museum space that presents artifacts and artworks from the 15th century in connected exhibition rooms.
