The Church and Santa Casa da Misericórdia (Portuguese: Igreja e Santa Casa de Misericórdia) is a former church and hospital in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. It was established as a branch of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia in 1549; a hospital, Hospital da Caridade (English: Charity Hospital), functioned from the 17th century. The Santa Casa additionally held a monopoly on burials in colonial Bahia. It was additionally funded by its brotherhood, the Brotherhood of Santa Casa. The Santa Casa of Bahia accepted the donation of a slave-holding plantation, the Fazenda Saubara in present-day Saubara, in 1652. The former hospital and chapel now functions as a museum, the Misericórdia Museum (Portuguese: Museu da Misericórdia). The Santa Casa, apart from the museum, now owns and operates the Santa Izabel Hospital, the Santa Casa Medical Faculty, the Jorge Calmon Memory Center, Campo Santo Cemetery, an events space, and numerous historic buildings in Salvador. source: wikipedia.org
