Antigua
Guatemala is colonial town founded in 1543.
It was the capital of Guatemala for more than 200 years (1543-1776)
when Antigua was one of the three most important cities
in the New World. In 1944 the government
made Antigua a National Monument
and 1979 UNESCO declared Antigua as a
World Cultural Heritage Site.
Antigua is surrounded by three impressive volcanoes
Agua (3766m), Fuego (3763m) and Acatenango (3976m)
the first, and lasting impression of Agua,
looming above the city in daylight, is gorgeous.
Walking around on the cobblestone streets
there’s a lot to see including many impressive colonial
style buildings.
Some of these are still in ruins after different earthquakes,
while others are currently under reconstruction.
Antigua was raised during the 17th and 18th century.
Antigua give the tourists opportunity to find a place to stay and enjoy themselves in this town with its very international atmosphere.
