Santa Catalina Arch

Antigua Guatemala is a UNESCO World Heritage site and former capital of Guatemala, famous for its stunning colonial architecture including the iconic Santa Catalina Arch. This distinctive yellow arch, built in the 17th century, once allowed cloistered nuns to pass between convent buildings without entering the street. Today, it stands as one of the most photographed landmarks in Central America, perfectly framing views of the Agua Volcano beyond.
