• Cathedral de Santiago - This Roman Catholic church in Antigua Guatemala was originally constructed around 1541 but faced numerous earthquakes over time. The initial structure was demolished in 1669, and the cathedral was rebuilt and consecrated in 1680. By 1743, it was among the largest in Central America. However, the 1773 Guatemala earthquake caused severe damage, though the two front towers remained mostly intact. These have been restored, and the cathedral has been partially rebuilt.

Entrance to the ruins is not included.

• Arco de Santa Catalina - The Santa Catalina Arch is one of Antigua Guatemala’s most iconic landmarks, standing proudly above the cobblestone streets with the majestic Volcán de Agua as its backdrop. Painted in vibrant saffron yellow, this stunning arch was originally built in the 17th century as a passageway for cloistered nuns. Today, it’s a beloved symbol of the city and a must-see spot for photos, often featured on postcards worldwide. Let its charm transport you back in time as you explore Antigua’s rich history!
• Iglesia de La Merced - La Merced Church is a masterpiece of baroque architecture and one of Antigua Guatemala’s most stunning landmarks. Built in the 18th century, its intricate yellow-and-white façade is adorned with detailed carvings and ornate stucco work, showcasing the grandeur of colonial design.
• Iglesia del Carmen - The history of El Carmen Church dates back to 1683 when the city council granted authorization for the construction of a temple under the invocation of Our Lady of Carmen. This church suffered heavy damage after the earthquakes of 1717, 1728 and 1773. Finally the building was ruined, so it had to be abandoned.
• Casa Santo Domingo - Casa Santo Domingo is a fascinating blend of history, culture, and luxury, set within the ruins of what was once Antigua Guatemala’s largest monastery. Founded in 1538 by the Dominicans, the original monastery was a magnificent structure with two towers, ten bells, and a wealth of treasures. Partially destroyed in the 1773 Santa Marta earthquake, its remaining baroque architecture, brick archways, and corridors tell the story of its grand past. Today, the site houses a five-star hotel known for its respect for history, with beautifully restored convent spaces, manicured gardens, and multiple museums displaying preserved statues, crypts, and artistic masterpieces. A visit here offers a unique glimpse into Antigua’s colonial heritage and architectural splendor.
