A small rock-cut chapel of the Almas Pobres in Funchal, standing between the convents of Santa Clara and Mercês. It was built in 1781 by Roque José de Araujo and is tied to a local legend about the souls in purgatory. The Elucidário also mentions an older chapel of the same name in Santa Maria Maior parish, founded around 1470.
