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

The Basilica of Our Lady of Mercy features Renaissance Revival architecture with two domed towers framing the central nave of the rectangular structure.

Construction began in 1866 to accommodate 3000 residents, enduring civil wars, financial issues, and an earthquake before completion over eighty years later.

The basilica contains a 1798 painting of Nuestra Señora de la Merced, which represents the devotional connection to the municipality's founding in 1787.

The religious center maintains an active schedule with three daily masses from Monday to Saturday and eight masses every Sunday for worshippers.

The German-made pipe organ, installed in 1963, contains 1020 pipes and reproduces various instrument sounds within the building's acoustic environment.
