    A baroque facade in a colonial surrounding. The church initially was built in the early 1600's in Panamà Viejo. After Morgan's attack it was moved to Casco Viejo. Personally, I like the interior very much, the relatively small nave and the aisles with several side altars evoke an intimate friendly atmosphere. As we were lucky enough to meet the Ohio-born harpist, we could witness a classical concerto with harmonious acoustics.

    Our Beautiful Lady of Mercy Church, according to records the Order of Mercy in Panama dates from1522, where it served as a resting place for spaniard missionaries. Mass is offerd regularly and in the spanish language. Also there's a museum inside recently opened to the public (due to Covid-19) where you can appreciate aproximately 500 years of history for a low price.
