    One of the oldest stil standing churches in Antigua, this church was built in 1579 and still stands despite being damaged by earthquakes many times. One attractions of this church for the faithful is the tomb of Saint Hermano Pedro de Betancourt who is credited with converting many of the local Mayan population to Christanity.

    Sitting on Parque Central is the Cathedral of San Jose. The current church was rebuilt after the 1773 earthquake and is only a small part of the original complex.

    A fine example of the old spanish colonial architecture, near a beautiful park used as a market during the day.

  • La Merced - Antigua Guatemala

    Even if you are not Catholic, not Christian, not religious at all, when in Antigua you must visit 3 churches, the Catedral de Santiago, Iglesia y Convento de Nuestra Senora La Merced, and Iglesia de San Francisco.

    The Catedral is across from El Parque Central. You must check out the very interesting and lifelike religious statues inside. At night the Catedral is beautifully lit.

    The Church of La Merced has on its grounds what is said to be the largest fountain in Latin America. The outside of the Church is painted bright yellow and white.

    The Iglesia de San Francisco has a fascinating museum on its grounds dedicated to Santo Hermano Pedro, a Franciscan monk who founded a hospital for the poor in Antigua in the 1600s. You can actually view his personal belongings.

    One of the older churches in Antigua, constructed in 1542, Santa Lucia is much less ornately decorated than some of the other churches in town. It is still in use today and because it sits on the SW edge of the city it is seldom visited. We happend across it on our walk from the Hotel Antigua to the Cemeterio General.
