Pillory of Belmonte
A revivalist pillory of the heraldic type, consisting of an octagonal shaft and a quadrangular base. It bears a shield with the municipality's coat of arms and, at the top, a royal crown.
A Romanesque-style Catholic temple, it is thought to have been built between the 13th and 14th centuries and remodelled in the 16th century in order to adapt it to the functions required by the Santa Casa da Misericórdia. Built with a rectangular plan, single nave and lower and narrower chancel, it has a straight lintel window and a full arch inside.
The Misericórdia Church, built around the 18th century, is the most important Baroque work in the city, which influenced the construction of several Baroque temples in the diocese. The portal is framed by two bell towers and supports an image of Our Lady of Mercy.
Its construction started in the XVIII century but was initially left unfinished. It is currently a museological space of cultural dissemination, where traditional inlays are exhibited, very characteristic of Alpedrinha's carpentry. It is a space where visitors can learn a little more about the municipality of Fundão. Besides, from its terrace you can see the whole region in a panoramic way.
