The Iglesia De Nuestra Señora De La Merced, dating from 1748, the most impressive colonial church Camagüey. In 1601 the first church was built here; according to legend a figure appeared on this spot and the miraculous event led to the building of the church. In the middle of the 18th Century it was rebuilt with a church and convent. Later reconstructions also took place but the church today maintains a Baroque façade.
