Church of the Misericordia in Tavira, home to Lisbon's Monastery of the Jeronimos, with altarpieces and magnificent antique azulejos.

One of the nuggets that make Tavira proud, the Church of Mercy dates from the 16th century and is considered the most remarkable Renaissance building in the Algarve. It is the work of the master André Pilarte, who was also involved in the construction of the sumptuous Monastery of the Jeronimos in Lisbon. The Renaissance spirit is perceptible in the portal flanked by statues, shields of Portugal and high reliefs representing saints. Inside, it is found in the columns and altarpieces of the chapels. Also noteworthy are the magnificent old azulejos.

Ce qui fait la singularité de cette église, pas très imposante de l'extérieur, c'est ça décoration intérieure très riche et surtout ces murs recouverts d'azulejos.
Notons que les panneaux explicatifs sont en français.

L'église de la miséricorde de Tavira est à voir, on y accède facilement et on y retrouve un très bel intérieur avec notamment plusieurs azulejos sur les murs.
