    Behind the rebuilt Cathedral of San Jose are the ruins of what must have been at one time the most impressive cathedral in Latin America. The first Cathedral was built on this site in 1545. The ruins that can be visited today date from the 1773 earthquake.

    This church ruin is accessed via the Casa Santo Domingo hotel. The site is one of the more expensive entry fees in Antigua but it includes the ruins and 3 or 4 onsite museums. It by far the best preserved and presented ruin and museum in Antigua

    This convent was begun in 1701 and was used until finally abandoned after the 1773 earthquake. Its a bit off the beaten path and has by Antigua standards a fairly steep admission price (about 5 USD). I setteld for a few pics from the outside.

    This former convt is one of the most extensive ruins in Antigua. The convent was completed in 1736. The cloister was in a unique round building with individual living spaces all around the center.

    Antigua: church

    As is common known, Antigua hasn't been a very safe city in the previous centuries.

    They have the vicinity of the volcanoes which are unpredictable and, secondly, they suffered from various earthquakes.
    Walking through the street sand looking at the buildings, you can see ruptures everywhere.

    This deserted church is one fo the best examples

    Antigua Ruins: The Santo Domingo Monastery

  • If you want to spend an hour or two enjoying some of the ruins of Antigua (it blends it well with a self-guided walking tour of Antigua's streets, shops, buildings, ruins, cathedrals etc.), this is a great spot. Entrance costs Q18 and you have access to the colonial and mayan artifact museums. A nice activitiy especially when it is a nice day. The grounds of the hotel are also nice for strolls.
