"Igreja de traça Barroca, construida na segunda metade do séc. XVIII. Para aqui se transferiu o Rocolhimento do Ferro, inicialmente situado na Rua Escura. Segundo um autor do séc. XVIII, o nome adevém-lhe de um ferro que atravessava a parta da primitiva igreja. Esta ficava próxima das antigas cadeias e, segundo a tradição, o ferro livrava da mort os condenados que o alcançassem."
