Originally,
the Iglesia de la Merced, built in 1625, stood on this property. In
1911, to celebrate the centennial celebration of the countries Independence,
the current building was constructed over what were the ruins of the
old church. Thoroughly re-constructed in 1998, the Teatro Heredia, (named
for the founder of Cartagena) is by far, one of the most beautiful theaters
in all of the Americas.
