Templo de La Merced, Catholic church in Sarco district, Cochabamba, Bolivia.
The church structure features a single nave design with a bell tower containing four sections and multiple bells at different levels.
Italian architect Franchesco Fontaine constructed the chapel between 1826 and 1840, drawing inspiration from Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
The main altar contains three sections displaying the Virgin of La Merced, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and statues of Saint Joachim and Saint Anne.
The church entrance leads through a large atrium with a water fountain, installed during renovations completed in 2006.
The building changed from a private chapel to a public temple in 1982 when custody transferred to the Divine Word religious order.
