Museum of Sacred Art It is housed in the old Misericórdia Church, built in the 16th century. It displays a collection of paintings, sacred sculpture and goldsmithery which, for conservation and safety reasons, has been removed from various churches in the municipality of Mértola. The building is located at the main entrance to the old port of Mértola, known as Porta da Ribeira. For centuries, it was one of the busiest places in the city, home to the large houses of the local merchants. It has long since ceased to be used as a place of worship, but it is still the main venue for the annual procession of the Lord of the Steps.

for SC128 - Post 5 January - Stillife with fruit www.ipernity.com/group/daysincolour365 The pomegranate tree was cultivated in ancient times by the Phoenicians, Greeks and Egyptians. The importance of its fruit - the pomegranate - goes back thousands of years, appearing in biblical texts associated with passions and fertility, and was also considered by the Greeks to be a symbol of love and fertility. This one is a miniature one I have in a pot, usually fruits are edible between September and December.
