Iglesia de Jesus (Church of Jesus of the Third Order) - Historical Building Merida - Mexico
The Church of the Third Order (or Church of Jesus, as it is also called) stands one block from the Main Square on the corner of Calles 59 and 60. Built in the 17th century by the Jesuits the church was attached to the order’s College of St. Francis Xavier. Roughly finished stone walls – some containing shell fossils – contrast with a richly carved entrance. Inside, stained glass windows pierce the dome, illuminating many beautiful paintings and friezes.
