Iglesia la Merced

This pretty church was constructed in 1680 after having been moved, stone by stone, from the previous site in Panama Viejo. It's a gorgeous facade, but the outside is nicer than the interior. Try and visit during the daytime, before the bright florescent lights come on and ruin the atmosphere. Less impressive than Iglesia San Jose or the Catedral, it still has some beautiful statues and icons.
