Antigua Guatemala Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala
The cathedral extends across an entire block with a monumental stone facade featuring 12 massive pillars and intricate baroque ornamental details in white stucco.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1542 under Bishop Francisco Marroquín, with multiple reconstructions following earthquakes until its partial destruction in 1773.
The cathedral houses significant religious sculptures, including the revered Señor Sepultado de San José and Nuestra Señora del Socorro within its remaining functional section.
Visitors can explore the cathedral ruins daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with separate entrance fees for national residents and international tourists.
The structure contains a network of underground tunnels and burial vaults beneath its foundations, including the tomb of conquistador Pedro de Alvarado.
