Iglesia de La Merced

Fodor's Review:

If religious iconography is one of the reasons you're in Guatemala, step inside this lovely church dating from 1813 to see its baroque interior. Many of the elaborate paintings and sculptures originally adorned La Merced in Antigua but were moved here after earthquakes devastated that city.
