Iglesia del Calvario, Catholic church in Zone 1, Guatemala City, Guatemala.

The Iglesia del Calvario features a three-nave structure with pillars, neoclassical windows, and a floor decorated with black and white geometric patterns.

The original church from the 18th century was demolished in 1926, and the current neoclassical building was completed in 1932 by architect Juan Domergue.

The central vault displays paintings of Christ, Virgin of Sorrows, Saint Mary Magdalene, and Saint John, while side naves contain scenes of Jesus's baptism.

The church functions both as a religious center and a museum, offering visitors access to baroque sculptures and religious art collections throughout the year.

The structure stands on an elevated platform with zigzag-decorated columns supporting the main entrance's semicircular arch.
