Merced is an underground stationonLine 1 of the Mexico City Metro.[2][3] It is located in the Venustiano Carranza borough, slightly to the east of the centre of Mexico City.[2] The station building was designed by Félix Candela,[4] and it was opened on 4 September 1969.[5] From July 2022 to October 2023, the station was closed due to modernization works on the tunnel and the line's technical equipment.[6][7]

Iconography[edit]

The station logo depicts a box with apples.[2] Its name is taken from the surrounding area, where La Merced Monastery once stood.[2] Outside the station is the La Merced Market – one of the largest in the city, second only to the Central de Abasto down in Iztapalapa borough.

General information[edit]

Metro Merced is connected with the interior corridors of the market. It has a baggage-o-meter, like Metro Autobuses del Norte and Metro Terminal Aérea. Outside the market are other markets, such as Mercado de Sonora,[8] and wholesale outlets that sell plastic goods, bags, shoes, electronics, and some general stores. This station is located near Avenida Anillo de Circunvalación.
