Church of Santa Clara, Mérida, Baroque church in central Mérida, Spain
The Church of Santa Clara stands within a triangle formed by the Co-Cathedral of Santa María la Mayor, Mérida City Hall, and the Assembly of Extremadura.
The construction of this religious building started in 1622 under the supervision of master Diego Miguel and his son Francisco Miguel, extending through the 17th century.
The church functions as the headquarters of the Visigothic Art Museum of Mérida, displaying numerous artifacts and architectural elements from that period.
The exterior walls rise from a granite base and incorporate brick elements arranged in square and rectangular patterns, creating a distinct architectural composition.
The main entrance portal faces Santa Julia Street and features granite sculptures, demonstrating the combination of local materials with Baroque architectural principles.
