Antigua's Sacred Sites
Antigua Guatemala’s religious landscape is defined by its Spanish Baroque architecture and the enduring impact of the 1773 earthquake. This collection spans from the ruins of Iglesia El Carmen, known for its intricate stucco-covered columns, to the active parish of San Francisco, which houses the tomb of Saint Hermano Pedro. The list includes the Calle de los Pasos, a historic processional route featuring shrines like the 11th and 12th Stations of the Cross, leading to the 17th-century Ermita del Santo Calvario.
