Parque Central: Antigua’s Central Park
The attractive fountain that anchors the central park (and that dates from 1738) is probably one of the most frequently photographed objects in all of Antigua. The park itself is a great place to relax and entertain yourself with some world-class people-watching.

Parque Central: Parque Central
The Parque Central is the heart of the city. Like in almost every Central American city it is exactly the size of one block, and like always the Central Cathedral has a prominent place at this square. The Central Park is a green space with tall trees, that provide a lot of shade, many benches that are often accupied, especially when you're here in the weekend, and many local people who hang around here with their children or with the goods they try to sell.

Around the large central fountain, that was built in 1738, it is very nice to relax on a sunny day. When your shoes are dirty you can have them cleaned by the many young boys that offer their services, when you feel like a chariot you can find them here, and when you just want to drink a cold drink you can find them on every corner of the square in one of the little stalls or in the many shops in one of the arcades surrounding the Parque Central.

And besides this huge dose of local culture, you can also enjoy the many beautiful building that surround the park. On every side you will see another great construction, of which the Cathedral at the eastside and the Palacio de los Capitanes at the southside are the most gorgeous ones.
