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

Iconography

The station logo depicts a box with apples.[1] Its name is taken from the surrounding area, where La Merced Monastery once stood.[1] 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.
