Porto Misericórdia Church & Museum Combined Ticket

Explore Both the Misericórdia Museum and Church

The MMIPO Porto Misericórdia Museum is located on Flores Street in the city's historic center. From the mid-16th century to 2013, the association's headquarters were located inside the building. After many years and several renovations, it was finally reborn as a museum facility.

One of MMIPO's many purposes is to inform people about the history of Misericórdia and the purpose of this organization. In addition, many art exhibitions reflect the organization's memories and identity, and also inform about future projects.
Visiting the museum is also an opportunity to better understand Porto's past and future. It also houses the Misericórdia Church, a steel and glass building, and the Patron Gallery. Built in the 16th century, the church underwent a massive renovation in the 18th century.
