Iglesia de la Merced

One block north of Parque Central, this striking white stone church has an intricately carved facade and three bell towers. It's currently under renovation in a project funded by the Spanish government. The expected completion date is set for 2018. Once completed however, it's likely to be closed outside of church service times.
