Iglesia de la Recoleccion, Leon.

Originally built in 1615, this version of the church was built in the early 1700's. The church is the home of Leon's patron saint, La Virgen de La Merced. The image was originally from Barcelona, it was brought to the original church in old Leon in 1528. After Volcano Momotombo erupted, old Leon was abandoned and the image was brought here.
