Lonely Planet review

An 18th-century church, Iglesia La Merced, faces Parque La Merced. In 1847, the convent of La Merced was converted to house Honduras' first university; the national gallery was established there in 1996. The well-restored building is itself a work of art, and is as impressive as the paintings inside. The unusual modern building on stilts next door is the Palacio Legislativo ( M0100), where Congress meets.
