Iglesia de la Merced

The La Merced Chapel features a single nave design with a neoclassical main altar, lateral altars, and a bell tower rising above the entrance.

The temple served as the meeting place for the Constitutional Congress of 1839, where representatives signed the national constitution during Agustín Gamarra's government.

The interior of the chapel contains religious artworks including representations of Saint Rose of Lima, Saint Martin of Porres, and Saint Cecilia.

The church stands at the intersection of Jiron Ayacucho and Calle Real, two blocks from Constitution Square in the Monumental Zone of Huancayo.

A baptismal font inside the chapel bears an inscription commemorating the rebirth of the Huanca people, connecting the building to regional identity.
