The old Hospital da Misericórdia building has two stories and an attic, with an L shaped plan stretching from the street side. The main building has a street facade with two sections creating an asymmetrical composition; the elevation is composed with pilasters painted grey, same shade as a horizontal band on the lower part and highlighting the framing of windows. Grey color is also used on the bed-molding and cornice; this is superimposed with a double verge. The longer (and older) section has four openings on each floor, with the ones on the center being the most elaborate, in particular two doors superimposed with two balcony windows that have cornice heads; on either side, two smaller windows with regular sills. Unlike the lower floor, the openings on the upmost have their heads creating a continuous alignment. The second section of the façade corresponds to the part of the L shaped plan that stretches into the depth of the plot, perpendicular to the street. The slopes of the roof have continuous intersections connecting the volumes forming the L, with the smaller part, into the plot, ending with two slopes and a triangular façade.

 

The most relevant features are the metrics of the openings on the façade, and the two balcony windows with corniced head jambs.
