It is a building built in the year 1840, dedicated for Catholic worship in that population, to the Virgin Mary under the invocation of Our Lady of Mercedes.

El Fortín

Highlight • Historical Site

In the year 1876, by order of the Plaza Commander and Governor of the Province, Fadrique Gutiérrez (1844-1897). Without being an architect, he himself designed the work. The Heredian historian Luis Dobles Segreda points out that it was part of a project of four towers in total, one in each corner of the place where the Cabildo was located. Apparently construction was suspended due to lack of financial resources.
