La Merced Church Description
The church of La Merced was originally built in 1548. Its present form was designed in 1767 to withstand damaging earthquakes. The intricately-patterned yellow and white baroque-styled facade features important sculptures such as Our Lady of Las Mercedes and San Pedro Nolasco. Inside the ruins of the once-attached monastery stands the enormous Fuente de Pescados (Fountain of the Fish) with a diameter of over 24m/80ft. La Merced is the starting point of the procession of Santa Semana.
