Antigua, the ancient capital of Guatemala.
Chinese name Antigua was founded in 1542
Now the capital of the province of Zacatepex, famous for its typical Spanish architecture, it is located in a flat valley at the foot of the 3,570-meter-high Agua Volcano, 1,530 meters above sea level, 24 kilometers from the current capital, Guatemala City.
The city was built in 1542, along the straight east-west and north-south streets, stands a church, monastery and palace. These Gothic buildings are integrated with various styles of buildings influenced by the Italian Renaissance, which are solemn and spectacular. In the 17th century, Antigua had developed into one of the wealthiest capitals in the Americas at the time.
After the earthquake of 1717, clusters of baroque and ultra-baroque buildings were erected on the rubble, with columns, half-pillars, and movement sketched in stucco veneers, with emphasis on ornately carved and decorated. Botanical pattern.
A powerful earthquake in 1773 once again reduced much of the prosperous city to ruins. The now rebuilt Antigua has been restored to its former prosperity and still maintains the original urban style, and UNESCO has listed it as one of the world's cultural heritage.
