Established by the first Bishop of Macao in 1569, this institution was modeled after one of the most prominent and oldest charitable organizations in Portugal, and was responsible for founding in Macao the first western-style medical clinic and several other social welfare structures that still function to this day. One of the principal roles of Macao’s Holy House of Mercy was to provide support for orphans and widows of sailors who died at sea, a role that is intimately linked to Macao’s profile in the context of regional and international maritime trading routes.
The Holy House of Mercy features a richly decorative arcaded façade which occupies a prominent position on Senado Square. It is composed of a mixed variety of columns and pilasters set between the archways, creating behind them a passageway for pedestrians on ground level and a balcony on the upper level. The rhythmic placement of these pilasters and their height variations enliven the façade. With the exception of the granite pedestals on ground level, the whole building is painted white, emitting simple elegance and a sense of tranquility. The building is neo-classical in the overall architectural treatment, but also depicts traces of mannerist influence such as in the use of “imprisoned” columns at ground level.

「白馬行醫院,因為該醫院為仁慈堂,故這方面資料也有用」應為「白馬行醫院,因為該醫院為仁慈堂創立,故這方面資料也有用」

由於原網頁沒有賈尼路主教的外文拼法,故另作補充:「議事亭前地有一座兩層高的白色建築物──仁慈堂。仁慈堂原名「聖母慈善會」,由葡萄牙皇后於1491 年8月創辦,這個慈善組織由葡國本土逐漸擴展至所有葡萄牙人居住的地方。澳門的仁慈堂於1569年由澳門天主教第一任主教賈尼路(D.Belchior Carneiro,又譯作賈尼勞)創辦,是本澳最早的慈善機構。」餘略,更多的資料請自行鍵入以下網頁看看(在下極力推薦這網頁):
