Templo de La Merced, Catholic church in Sarco district, Cochabamba, Bolivia.

Templo de La Merced is a Catholic church in the Sarco district with a single nave and a four-section bell tower that holds multiple bells at different heights. Inside, the main altar displays three sections dedicated to the Virgin, the Sacred Heart, and statues of two saints.

Italian architect Franchesco Fontaine built this chapel between 1826 and 1840, drawing design ideas from Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. It initially served as a private chapel until 1982, when it became a public place of worship under a religious community.

The image of the Virgin of La Merced came from Seville, Spain, and was given in 1820 by the muleteer José de Gamarra to Sebastián de Irigoyen, owner of the Sarco estate. The main altarpiece has three sections: the Virgin of La Merced in the centre, the Sacred Heart of Jesus above, and Saint Joachim and Saint Anne on either side. Other images inside include the Archangel Michael, Saint Peter, Saint John, Saint Anthony, Saint Francis, Saint Isidore, Saint Andrew and Saint Hyacinth.

Visitors enter through a spacious atrium that includes a water fountain, added during renovation work completed in 2006. This entrance area provides comfortable access to the interior worship space.

The tower stands beside the main facade and has four bell levels: a door and an oculus at the base, then three tiers of bells, topped by a Christian cross. The exterior base of the chapel is exposed stone.
