Church of La Soledad, Mexico City, Neoclassical parish church in La Merced district, Mexico City, Mexico.

The Church of La Soledad, officially Santa Cruz y La Soledad, has a Neoclassical facade of gray sandstone divided into five sections, with a two-level main portal showing the Passion symbols and figures of John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene. Two circular bell towers with four arches each flank it. Inside, three naves are supported by six sculpted Neoclassical columns, under barrel vaults with lunettes and an octagonal cupola.

This church replaced an earlier Augustinian teaching site for indigenous people that was secularized in 1750, with construction completed in 1787 and consecration in 1792. It earned national monument status in 1931 and has undergone restoration to address accumulated damage.

The church's name comes from the Virgen de la Soledad, whose black robe with silver embroidery is kept in the wooden tabernacle area. In front of the church on the Plaza de la Soledad, sex workers have held commemorations for the National Day of Sexual Workers, honoring victims of violence.

The church faces the Plaza de la Soledad in the La Merced neighborhood, a short walk east of the Zócalo in the historic center. The area is busy and known for street commerce and prostitution, so keep belongings close. The annex that once belonged to the church now houses other uses, so the building is about half its original size.

The church's archive holds documents dating back to 1633, the oldest in its collection, which record parish life and little-known social details of the community. The wrought-iron choir railing still carries its original small bells, and the sacristy keeps a painting by Miguel Cabrera titled "La Santísima Trinidad."
