Basílica Nuestra Señora de la Merced, Catholic basilica in central Córdoba, Argentina.

The basilica features three naves with a cruciform layout, rectangular columns supporting side altars, and a barrel-vaulted main nave with colored decorations.

The church originated from the Mercedarian Monastery of San Laurentius, approved in 1601, while the current facade was completed in 1869 by Italian architects Bettoli and Kanepa.

The basilica earned recognition as the main confessional center of Córdoba, serving as a fundamental religious institution for local Catholic worshippers.

Located at 25 de Mayo 83, the basilica stands near the Jesuit Block and various museums, including the Superior Museum of Fine Arts Evita.

The church contains a baroque pulpit from 1776, considered the second most elaborate in Argentina, surpassed only by the one in Jujuy Cathedral.
