Basilica of Our Lady of Mercy, Minor basilica in Yarumal, Colombia

The Basilica of Our Lady of Mercy is a Renaissance Revival church in Yarumal, begun in 1866 on the site of the town's first church. Its rectangular plan is divided into three longitudinal naves, the central one framed by two towers topped with domes. Inside stands a 12-metre, 70-tonne high altar shaped like a half-baldachin and built of marble in several colours.

Yarumal's parish was erected in 1790, and by 1850 its old church was too small for 3,000 inhabitants. On 20 December 1860 Father Julián Palacio gathered residents in the square and formed a building committee; the first stone was laid on 6 February 1861, and demolition of the old church began on 2 April 1866. Civil wars, the partial collapse of 1890 and the 1938 earthquake delayed consecration until 1944. Pope John Paul II made it a minor basilica on 12 August 1999.

The patron is the Virgin of Mercy, whose 1789 painting, possibly of Quito origin and considered miraculous, hangs in the church; the temple is also titled to Saint Aloysius Gonzaga. Since 2000 the remains of poet Epifanio Mejía, author of the Himno Antioqueño, rest here. The parish itself was erected in 1790 as San Luis de Góngora.

The basilica stands on the main square of Yarumal and is easy to reach on foot from anywhere in the town center. Visiting outside of mass times allows a quieter look at the interior, and modest dress is expected inside.

The 1789 painting of the Virgin of Mercy, possibly of Quito origin and considered miraculous, is the oldest artwork in the church. The main altar is a marble baldachin-like structure 12 metres tall and weighing 70 tonnes, and the sanctuary floor is inlaid with marble designs. Since 2000 the church has held the remains of poet Epifanio Mejía, author of the Himno Antioqueño.
