Currently my wife is in the coastal and beautiful capital city,
Lima, and from there she sends me beautiful photographs, accompanied by a valuable portion of Peruvian history, art and culture that evokes the extraordinary architectural splendor of the former Viceroyalty of Peru; architectural splendor that remains present as a silent witness of the memorable years of the so-called City of Kings.

One of those icons of religious architecture that I have been able to get to know, thanks to the video calls and photographs of my beloved wife, is the beautiful
Basilica and convent of Nuestra Señora de la Merced, a majestic Baroque-style temple that since 1972 it is a Cultural Heritage of the Peruvian Nation and which, in 1991, was named a World Heritage Site, for being part of the "Historic Center of Lima", according to ref. 500.

The majestic Basilica and convent of Nuestra Señora de la Merced was built by Fray Miguel de Orenes in the year 1535, taking the Archangel Saint Michael as his patron; It is worth mentioning that in this sacred temple the Patron Saint of the Armed Forces of Peru, Our Lady the Virgin of Mercy,
Great Mariscala and Patron Saint of Arms of Peru.
The Basilica is located at the intersection of block 6 of Jirón de la Unión, La Merced street, with the first block of Jirón Santa Rosa, Jesús Nazareno street, in the Historic Center of Lima. According to what I was able to investigate, the imposing façade of the Basilica is a finished example of the baroque churrigueresque style Lima and in its central part the image of the Virgen de las Mercedes appears in a niche or niche, around which others are arranged.

Before writing this Post, I found the following historical fact:
After the earthquake of 1746 the church was partially restored; At that time, the remarkable portal was also rebuilt, which adorns the front with its Solomonic columns, which is considered a historical and artistic relic of great aesthetic quality. It was manufactured in a special quality of original granite from Panama... This cover, so fine and artistically carved in three bodies, was built using gray and pink stones, forming a combination that is not found in other temples in Lima. Its The only tower, begun in 1539, should have been higher but was lowered as a result of the earthquake of October 20, 1687. Text / texto

Antes de escribir este Post, encontré el siguiente dato histórico:
Después del terremoto de 1746 la iglesia fue parcialmente restaurada; en esa época también se reconstruyó la notable portada, que adorna el frontis con sus columnas salomónicas, que es considerada como una reliquia histórica y artística de gran calidad estética. Fue fabricada en una calidad especial de granito original de Panamá... Esta portada tan fina artísticamente tallada en tres cuerpos, se construyó utilizando piedras de color gris y rosadas, formando una combinación que no se encuentra en otros templos limeños. Su única torre, iniciada en 1539, debía ser más alta pero fue rebajada a raíz del terremoto del 20 de octubre de 1687. Text / Texto

Looking inside the Basilica I could see that it has three naves, one central and two lateral, two domes with small stained glass windows that allow sunlight to enter, ceilings and columns beautifully decorated with fine geometric details, on some walls and floors the old Tiles and ceramics stand out for their durability and subtle beauty. The arches that give singular aesthetic beauty to the enclosure also stand out. One of the most outstanding details is the pulpit carved in fine wood and the confessionals and benches that have resisted use and have survived intact. In short, I can conclude that the Basilica is a treasure of world religious architecture, a meeting place with God and with brothers, ideal to admire the fine and delicate colonial art and recall the sacred history of the Republic of Peru.

Al ver el interior de la Basílica pude observar que tiene tres naves, una central y dos laterales, dos cúpulas con pequeños vitrales que permiten la entrada de luz solar, techos y columnas bellamente decorados con finos detalles geométricos, en algunas paredes y pisos los antiguos azulejos y cerámica destacan por su durabilidad y sutil belleza. También destacan los arcos que dan singular belleza estética al recinto. Uno de los detalles mas resaltantes es el púlpito tallado en madera fina y los confesionarios y los bancos que han resistido al uso y han perdurado intactos. En definitiva puedo concluir que la Basílica es un tesoro de la arquitectura religiosa mundial, lugar de encuentro con Dios y con los hermanos, ideal para admirar el fino y delicado arte colonial y rememorar la historia sagrada de la República del Perú.
