La Ermita, the church where this walk begins, is not the original building on the site. The first chapel here, dedicated to Our Lady of Solitude and the Lord of the Cane, dated back to the early 17th century — but it was reduced to ruins by an earthquake in 1925, with only the venerated image of the Lord of the Cane surviving. The current neo-Gothic structure went up starting in 1942, deliberately modeled on Germany's Ulm Cathedral, right down to bells imported from Levallois, France, and stained-glass windows depicting the twelve apostles made in Amsterdam. It's a striking building to start a walking tour at precisely because its Gothic-revival style is so unusual for Cali, where colonial Spanish and modern architecture otherwise dominate.
The walk's stop at Complejo La Merced takes you to something genuinely older: the complex houses what's generally regarded as Cali's oldest standing building, with parts of the structure dating to the 16th century. It marks the spot where the city's first Catholic mass was held on July 25, 1536, the same year Cali itself was founded — and the site later served as a Mercedarian convent, then briefly as army barracks under General Mosquera in 1813, before eventually being handed to Augustinian nuns. It was declared a Colombian national monument in 1975 and today holds a museum of colonial religious art inside its three internal courtyards.
San Antonio Hill, the walk's final climb, carries its own long history — the Iglesia de San Antonio at its summit dates to 1747, making it one of the oldest buildings in what was, when San Antonio was first settled, a city of barely 5,000 people. The neighborhood's cobblestone streets and artisan workshops have since made it Cali's bohemian quarter, and the hilltop view over the city is the kind of payoff that makes the short, steep walk up worth it even on a tour built for travelers who only have a few hours to spare.
