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.

General information

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,[7] and wholesale outlets that sell plastic goods, bags, shoes, electronics, and some general stores. This station is located near Avenida Anillo de Circunvalación.
