The Iglesia de La Merced in Antigua Guatemala is a beautiful Catholic church with a rich history. Built in the 18th century, it features stunning Churrigueresque architecture and a unique water lily-shaped fountain. The church survived the devastating Santa Marta earthquakes of 1773 and played a significant role in the transfer of important religious images to the new capital. With its intricate façade and historical significance, the Iglesia de La Merced is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the charming city of Antigua Guatemala.

Note: go to the roof for sunset!! Small entrance fee
