Antigua, Guatemala: Built 1,500 meters above sea level in an earthquake-prone region and it was the capital of the Captaincy-General of Guatemala, this city was founded in 1524 as Santiago de Guatemala. It was subsequently destroyed by fire caused by an uprising of the indigenous population, re-established in 1527 and entirely buried because of earthquakes and an avalanche in 1541.

The third location, in the Valley of Panchoy or Pacán, was inaugurated in March 1543 and served for 230 years. It survived natural disasters of floods, volcanic eruptions and other serious tremors until 1773 when the Santa Marta earthquakes destroyed much of the town. At this point, authorities ordered the relocation of the capital to a safer location, which became Guatemala City, the county’s modern capital.

The Tour: In our city tour of Antigua, Guatemala, we are going to visit the most prominent buildings that still remain here and we will learn a lot not only about its history but also about the Spanish arrival to this region.
