Casa Popenoe, Colonial mansion in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala
The residence features traditional Spanish colonial architecture with two central courtyards, thick stone walls, wooden beams, and decorative mixed-line arches throughout the structure.
Built in 1762 by Venancia López, the wife of royal notary Andrés Guerra, the house stands on two properties from 1650 that belonged to priest Juan de Torres.
The house serves as a center for academic activities, offering monthly conferences, temporary exhibitions, and specialized courses about colonial architecture and heritage.
Tours require advance reservations through the official website, with a maximum capacity of five visitors per group and mandatory temperature checks upon entry.
The residence contains an orchidarium from the 1940s housing 42 endemic Guatemalan orchid species, integrated within the main garden's colonial design.
