The Cathedral of La Merced is located on the sixth block as well as the smaller Plazoleta de La Merced church, where in 1821, José de San Martín declared the Independence of Peru, which is commemorated by a bronze statue. A monument to the former Peruvian president Ramón Castilla is located on the square. On the same square, a plaque commemorates Fernando Belaúnde Terry's march of protest against the National Jury of Elections, which did not register his candidacy for the presidency until sixteen days before the national elections. The block ends with the Interbank corporate headquarters located in an early republic building. A Saga Falabella department store is also located on this block.
