Iglesia de la Merced, Catholic church in Granada, Nicaragua.

Iglesia de la Merced is a church building in Granada featuring a white baroque facade with ornate carved details and a bell tower positioned at a street corner. The tower rises prominently above surrounding structures and forms part of the main plaza's architectural frame.

The first church on the site dates to 1534, a simple wooden structure with a thatched roof and a single nave. It was rebuilt with new materials around 1740, and Mercedarian friars began the bell tower in 1781, completing it on 23 January 1783. In 1854 the tower's upper two sections were destroyed during Nicaragua's civil war; the tower was restored in 1862, and the roof was rebuilt as a vault around 1867.

The church serves as a gathering place where locals attend daily services and prayer. A dedicated chapel inside honors the Virgin of Fatima and draws regular visitors seeking quiet moments of devotion.

The church stands in the centre of Granada, with its main facade facing east and a second entrance on the south side. An atrium runs along the east and south sides, where a cross called "Cruz del siglo" marks the year 2000. The bell tower is on the south nave; the chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Fatima is on the north nave.

The tower was built by Mercedarian friars between 1781 and 23 January 1783, destroyed with its two upper sections in the 1854 civil war, and rebuilt by 1862. Its third section ends on two sides in a clock, and the second section carries the Mercedarian shield with a carved coir-palm rod.
