The Church of La Merced was the first convent and church founded after the initiative of four Mercedarian friars from Guatemala in 1537. The convent of La Merced was built in 1537, when Francisco Marroquin brought four Mercedarians, two of which: Fray Pedro Barrientos and Fray Pedro Benítez de Lugo, stayed in this Ciudad Real, to start the foundation of the order. The other Mercedarians: Fray Juan Zambrano and Fray Marcos Pérez Dardón, did not stay long in the city, leaving the convent even though the City Council had already granted a plot of land on March 18, 1537.

Chiapa de Corzo is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in the state of Chiapas, located just 15 minutes from the capital, Tuxtla Gutiérrez. Its value lies in its rich history, which dates back to pre-Hispanic times, when it was inhabited by various indigenous groups, including the Chiapanecas, who fiercely resisted the Spanish conquest and preferred to commit suicide rather than be dominated.
