Parish of Jesús María and Our Lady of Mercy, Colonial church in Centro Histórico, Mexico City.
The Parish of Jesús María features a symmetrical stone facade with carved religious motifs and two bell towers framing the main entrance.
Founded in 1580 with support from Philip II of Spain, this convent provided shelter for orphaned daughters of Spanish conquistadors without dowries.
The church interior displays Mexican colonial architecture with detailed altarpieces, wooden confessionals, and religious sculptures representing Catholic saints.
Located near multiple metro stations in Mexico City's historic center, the church opens daily for religious services and welcomes visitors throughout the week.
The building's irregular octagonal floor plan resulted from constructing between two existing structures, creating an unconventional architectural solution.
