La Merced is a Catholic Jesuit church and decorated with some amazing hand made religious statues dating ages ago when artisans were sent from Spain to 1) select the wood to be used, 2) carve the statue, 3) paint the wood to give it a "flesh" color, 4) special artisans to work on the "faces" to make them look real live, 5) make the colored paints from special natural elements, 6) exquisitely paint the "garments" on the carved statues, sometimes using real gold. Truly these statues are worthy of studying

I come to this church every time I come to Guatemala. The purpose is to see my family Saint, Saint Jude Thaddeus. Aside from that, the history of the church and the entire structure is a breathtaking showmanship of the architecture, devotion, and dedication to religion, Saints, and worship. The church contains many personal relics and historic moments. This is a MUST SEE

This is one of the must sees in Antigua. The yellow church stands out and this is probably the best place to go for Easter survices.

The façade of this church is so stunning! Well worth a stop and see. Be mindful that it is still a working church and that weddings and mass occur frequently here.

La Iglesia de la Merced is an impressive church with lots of heritage and details. Worth the visit if you are catholic and love spanish religious heritage.

Many get confused with La Merced that is in Antigua. But they are very different. This one is the one in the City and its in a dumpy part of town. But it is worth the look. Although Antigua is the place to go.

A must-see in Antigua! Don't miss the lovely views and history. The fountain is impressive, even if docile, and the facade is better than any postcard. Across the street is a tiny store behind a plan door with the words "La Cancha" written just above the post. Ask the lady at the register if you can have a meal, and she'll usher you through a door in the back to a single table in a kitchen where family members are making a meal for themselves and a small number of guests. For $3-5, you can have a truly AUTHENTIC experience! You won't read about this one in any guidebooks!Happy travels!

A beautiful example of a colonial church has it could have been seen in Antigua Guatemala during colonial time.. As the church has been transported from Antigua to Guatemala after the city has been moved to Guatemala City
