Iglesia de la Merced

It's not the church you have to see (although it is nice). Inside of what used to be the cloisters (?) you will find the biggest fountain in all of Central America and be able to climb up to the roof to get spectacular views of the entire town. As you stand in front of the church, to your left you will see a gift shop. Walk through that and you will find a place to buy a ticket for entry for Q35. Hold onto your ticket as you need it to get onto the roof. I can't believe It took me so long to check this out. It's been open now for over a year!

Great place to get a nice view of the whole city. For only 5 dollars for foreigners you can get a breathtaking view of the city of Antigua. I probably sat here just admiring the city for over half an hour. There's also a fountain and paintings that are cool.

It's a beautiful place, you need to go to the church and the building next door. It has beautiful views of the city and volcanoes. The price to get inside is highly reasonable.

A gorgeous little church and one of the main ones of Antigua. Lots of vendors outside and tranquil inside.

Beautiful church. You can pay 35Q and go up on the roof and get an amazing view of Antigua.

35Q entry for foreigners - nice to walk around, interesting view of the city but not as good as what you see from Cerro de la Cruz, which is free.

After visiting the inside of the church (free entry) head to the entrance of the left to the church for access to the roof of the church. Entrance fee was 30 qzt, which gives you access to the convent (not much to see there) but the roof top is stunning as you are literally are walking on top of the church with beautiful views of the town and the surrounding area. Maybe not kid friendly as there are no guards.

Beautiful church. Free to enter and visit the temple if they’re not having masses. You can pay if you want to go to the rooftop.
