Create an itinerary including Iglesia de La Merced

Pay a visit to Iglesia de La Merced, a historic site of Catholic pilgrimage. Originally built in 1539, the church was razed by pirates in the mid 17th century and rebuilt with its current Baroque facade in the 1780s. Restored with an ornate interior in the 1860s, the church today contains an image of the Virgen de Fatima, a sacred object that draws many pilgrims. Climb up the bell tower that flanks the church to gain extensive views of the city and beyond, including many major urban and natural attractions.

All the churches here are amazing to pop into. The views from the bell tower are so worth seeing! Especially at sunset.

Strangely, the church was all locked up when we visited but we did manage to climb the tower. The views around the city are really good so it was certainly worth the climb.
