It is a museum which informs you about the misericordia (mercy) movement now 500 years old.

A nice museum to understand the history of Braga but it's been renovated too much that you can not see the real architecture from its time.

Original and beautiful façade! It is worth some pictures with it behind.

the centre of Braga, this divine palace from the 1750s was commissioned by João Duarte de Faria, a wealthy merchant and knight of the Order of Christ. It will stop you in your tracks as its walls are clad with blue azulejos, which contrast with the graceful granite carvings on the doorways and window frames. If you’ve been to Barcelona you might see a similarity between his work and exaggerated, organic fittings on the facade of this building. The palace is next to Braga’s hospital and inside there’s a free museum with some old medical artefacts as well as information about the building and its recent restoration.

Beautiful building, one of the best demonstrations of barroc architecture influence in Braga. Visitation prices really cheap.
