This was my very favorite place. This is where we "people watched" both Antiquenos and tourists alike. We struck up conversations with many young Europeans attending language school in Antigua. Many were then going on afterward to perform volunteer work in other parts of Guatemala. In the middle of the park is a very beautiful fountain which was restored in 1936.

Helpfulness
The gathering place for locals and visitors alike, on most days the plaza is lined with villagers selling handicrafts to tourists; on Sunday it’s mobbed and the streets on the east and west sides are closed to traffic. Things are cheapest late Sunday afternoon, when the peddling is winding down. The plaza’s famous fountain was built in 1738. At night, mariachi or marimba bands play in the park.

This is the wonderful view from el cerrito in Antigua. This is the same place where the monumental cross is located up on the hill.
