Antigua

Antigua is a quaint city, with much history of Guatemala. We visited it while Natalie and Derek were here visiting with us.

This is a Catholic church that had major damage to it during an earthquake, but it is still being used today.

It is hard to read the words of these signs on the Cathedral, but it describes some of the history of this church. The first dates on the sign are: 1545 Construction began; 1688 the first Cathedral was demolished; in 1669-80 Construction of new Cathedral and 1773 it was destroyed by Earthquake.
