Church of La Merced

The Church of La Merced was part of the Convent of the Barefoot Mercedarian order, in Cádiz. It was founded in the 17th century at the behest of the Dukes of Medina Sidonia, who were protectors of such order.

Because of the destruction occurred from the 19th century confiscations, today only the main façade and the tower of the church remain. These are proto-Baroque works.

Inside, there is an altarpiece from the Chapel of Cappuchinos, a polychrome wood work done presumably by Torcuato Cayon in 1770.
