Merced is an underground station on Line 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]
