Description

The Cathedral of San José, located in the heart of Antigua Guatemala, is a symbol of faith, resilience, and colonial history. Built in the 16th century as the seat of the Central American archbishopric, it features a blend of Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Despite repeated earthquakes, including the catastrophic 1773 Santa Marta quake, the cathedral remains a cultural and spiritual icon. Its restored façade and preserved ruins invite visitors to explore its rich history and enduring legacy.
