Pertence a Igreja do Bom Jesus está localizado em Braga, Ela está decorada com quatro brasões um pertence ao papa, outro ao Arcebispo D. Gaspar de Bragança, e os restantes dois não consegui descobrir a quem pertencem.

A IGREJA:
Foi desenhada pelo arquitecto Carlos Amarante, por encomenda do Arcebispo D. Gaspar de Bragança, para substituir uma primitiva igreja, mandada construir por D. Rodrigo de Moura Teles que se encontrava em ruínas.

As obras começaram em 1 de Junho de 1784, tendo ficado concluídas em 1811.

A fachada é ladeada por duas torres e termina num frontão triangular. Aos lados da porta principal, em nichos, entre as colunas de seis metros de altura, as estátuas dos profetas Jeremias e Isaías, com inscrições em latim. A meio, por cima do grande janelão e escudo de D. João VI, que em 1822 concedeu ao santuário as mesmas honras e prerrogativas da misericórdias.
