Antigua Guatemala, founded in 1543, was the capital of Guatemala until a devastating earthquake caused significant damage in 1773.

Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this colonial city is famous for its Baroque architecture and picturesque atmosphere.

Its main attractions include the imposing Cathedral of Santiago, the Santa Catalina Arch, and the ruins of the Capuchin Convent, which narrate the rich history of the city.

The Santa Catalina Arch, is the most iconic monument in Antigua. This impressive yellow arch, which connects two buildings, is not only a perfect photo spot but also offers a spectacular view of the Agua Volcano.
