This is the newest church in the centro, with construction begun in 1756 and completed in 1796.

An annual procession takes place here on 12 December in honor of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

The Museum of the City of Mérida provides more evidence of the city's long history and rich culture. Admission is free, with guides who speak Spanish, English, and French. The museum has a very interesting permanent exhibit, as well as changing art exhibits upstairs. An added bonus is that the museum is just across the street from Mérida's central market, Mercado Lucas de Galvéz.
