Granada:
Well lots of churches (I know that I am putting lots of pictures of churches in my blog but they are part of the history of the towns relating different architectural eras) in this post but they have their own charm specially coming from the colonial epoch.
- Iglesia (church) La Merced, probably the most beautiful church of Granada. It was built in 1539 but destroyed many times and finally restored in 1862,
- View of the town centre from the tower of the Iglesia La Merced. In the background, the Cathedral and far the lake Nicaragua (or Cocibolca),
-Iglesia de Guadalupe,
- Convento y Iglesia de San Francisco. Built end of the 16th Century, the structure was burned by the American Walker in 1856 and rebuilt in the late 1860's,
- Iglesia de Xalteva. The name is coming from the indigenous settlers of the area where it is located. The church was built during colonial times and was used as a military fortress during the national war. In 1890, the church was severely damaged by earthquakes and rebuilt at the end of the 19th Century.
