About The original church of La Merced was build between 1543 and 1546. But was reconstructed and renovated several times after being destroyed by a series of earthquakes. La Merced as it stands today was completed in 1767 and is an excellent example of the baroque style that was dominant in Antigua in the 18th century. Some repairs to the church were made in the 1850s. Next to the church are the ruins of the convent. In its central courtyard, the largest fountain in Guatemala can be found. It was build in the 18th century and measures 27 meters in diameter.

The interior of the church is formed by three naves flanked by isles on each side. The church was stripped of most of its original decorations including guilded altarpieces as they were all moved to the church of La Merced in Guatemala City.

This is a piece of the large fountain, Music lessons were being given throughout the ruin, all different instruments.

Great photo, there's something you don't see everyday, as they say. Background info is vital, for this slightly surreal shot.

Very interesting combination of nature and man-man made, now in my favotites.
Thank you, dear Alison, for your very kind comments on my "Figure in colors", "Street musician" and "Light from within."
Best regards,
Rafi

Nice shot from a great perspective! What a cool place for music lessons! I don't think I've ever seen anyone playing a lute in Antigua before, but that's what it looks like the girl sitting down is playing.

Hmmmm... the way you described the music lessons sounds almost like modern jazz to me - 4 guys playing different instruments and different tunes all at the same time, somehow managing to start and finish together!

Interesting looking stonework. Very colourful mottling on the stones too. Excellent!
