Church of Mercy in Tavira, home to the Jeronimos Monastery in Lisbon, with its altarpieces and magnificent antique azulejos.

One of the jewels in Tavira's crown, the Church of Mercy dates back to the 16thcentury and is considered the most remarkable Renaissance building in the Algarve. It is the work of master builder André Pilarte, who was also involved in the construction of Lisbon's sumptuous Jeronimos Monastery. The Renaissance spirit is perceptible in the portal flanked by statues, Portuguese shields and high-reliefs depicting saints. Inside, the spirit is reflected in the columns and altarpieces in the chapels. There are also some magnificent antique 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.
