The Brotherhood of Mercy was established in Montemor-o-Velho in 1546, soon beginning itself its chapel. Renaissance, Mannerist, is the work of the second half of the sixteenth century, with posteriores- reforms, by docking it the "Casa do Despacho 'Guild headquarters. The facade is dominated by a relief of the Virgin of Mercy, or "Mater Omnium" without doubt the best size of the temple, is attributed to João de Ruão (Juan de Rouen). They are also mannerist altarpieces of the interior, stone ANCA conimbricense school work. That of the main altar is presided by the Virgin of Mercy and surround five scenes: Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity, Circumcision and Epiphany. Embedded under the tableau is part of the Entombment, also of the XVI, but modified in late XVIII to get him there, leaving out the two figures placed at the entrance, which are Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea. Gallery also highlights the brothers in the nave of the epistle, with Ionic columns, probably made in the seventeenth century as the Casa do Depacho with which it communicates.

Segundo consegui apurar foi construida na segunda metade do século XVI, não de arquitetura exterior muito elaborado. Não consegui visualizar o interior . Mas por fotos dá para perceber que é composta por nave única e capela-mor de uma beleza singela.
