Abstract

The Misericórdia of Barcelos is presently installed in the former convent of S. Francisco,to where it moved in 1836, after the dissolution of the religious orders held two yearsbefore. The former headquarters of the brotherhood were ceded to the Municipality andits church would be included in the New City Hall, begun in 1849. A recent architecturalintervention revealed the old church, and access to unpublished documentation, depositedin the archives of the confraternity, has enabled us to reconstruct some of the majorphases of its construction and execution of original paintings and altarpieces.
