Church and Convent of Society of Jesus, Hispanic baroque religious complex in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala.
The Church and Convent of Society of Jesus displays wide stone arches, thick walls, and remaining sections of the original three monastery wings.
The complex, constructed between 1690 and 1698 by architect José de Porres, operated until 1767 when King Charles III ordered the expulsion of Jesuits.
The San Lucas School within the complex educated notable figures including historian Francisco Antonio Fuentes y Guzmán and poet Rafael Landívar.
Visitors can access the church grounds without charge, though certain areas remain restricted due to structural preservation requirements.
The religious complex transformed into various establishments over time, including a textile factory in 1865 and a public market in 1912.
