Antigua Guatemala

Antigua Guatemala

Antigua is a small city surrounded by volcanoes in southern Guatemala. It's renowned for its Spanish colonial buildings, many of them restored following a 1773 earthquake that ended Antigua's 200-year reign as Guatemala's colonial capital. Notable architectural examples include baroque La Merced church. It's an integral part of the city's famous Semana Santa, a holy week with parades and rituals.
