Rua das Flores and Church of Misericórdia

Rua das Flores and Church of Misericórdia

Other

In front of the São Bento Station, on the left-hand side, the Rua das Flores (Street of Flowers) was opened in the 16th century to free up movement around the city.

It is a straight, busy thoroughfare where there are quality goldsmiths, keeping alive the noble traditions the north of Portugal has in this craft. Stores crowd either side of the street showing off their wares in impressive storefront displays.

In the midst of this bustling retail area, there is the Church of Misericórdia (Compassion), with its Nicolau Nasoni façade rich in decorative embellishment and one of the most significant examples of baroque found in Porto.
