Puerta de madera de doble hoja con dos aperturas menores que facilitan su uso, cosida con remaches de bronce, pueden verse también las visagras, pintada de color marón aunque bastante deteriorada en su pintura.
"Iglesia del siglo XVIII (1745-1757) que debe su nombre a la imagen de el Santo Cristo de la Misericordia que preside el Altar Mayor.
De estilo barroco colonial, antaño hospital, del que todavía se conserva la portada; y originariamente ermita, esta construida en ladrillo y mampostería, de una sola nave y planta de cruz latina, con cuatro tramos, dos capillas laterales y crucero. El retablo mayor está diseñado con gran dinamismo, al compás de las comisas y molduras que se ondulan y se fragmentan presagiando el estilo rococó.
Fue reconstruida con financiación y patrocinio de Juan Leonardo Malo Manrique, arahelense que vivió en la Nueva España, Méjico, durante el periodo colonial.
En ella tiene su sede canónica la hermandad de la Misericordia cuya fundación se remonta al año 1501".

"An 18th-century church (1745-1757) that owes its name to the image of the Holy Christ of Mercy that presides over the High Altar.
In the Colonial Baroque style, it was once a hospital, of which the portal is still preserved; and originally a hermitage, it is built of brick and masonry, with a single nave and a Latin cross floor plan, with four bays, two side chapels, and a transept. The high altarpiece is designed with great dynamism, in keeping with the undulating and fragmented borders and moldings, foreshadowing the Rococo style.
It was rebuilt with the funding and sponsorship of Juan Leonardo Malo Manrique, a native of Arahal who lived in New Spain, Mexico, during the colonial period.
The Brotherhood of Mercy, whose foundation dates back to 1501, has its canonical headquarters there."
