The Our Lady of Mercy Church is a Catholic church located in the Old Town of Panama City. Initially it was in the first location of the city, today called Panama Viejo. After the attack of the pirates and consequent destruction of the city, the stone façade of this temple was transferred piece by piece to the new city around 1680.
