Lonely Planet review

There are several ordinary colonial-era buildings in the streets immediately south of Las Peñas, but soon all the architecture turns mostly modern and dull. The Church of La Merced dates from 1938 and has a richly decorated golden altar, but the original wooden church built in 1787, like most of Guayaquil's colonial buildings, was destroyed by fire.
