历史
Founded in 1543, Antigua served as the capital of Guatemala until a series of earthquakes in the 18th century led to its decline. The city was originally named Santiago de los Caballeros and became a cultural center during the colonial period.
Today, remnants of its rich history can be seen in the preserved architecture and vibrant traditions. Despite natural disasters, Antigua has maintained its charm and continues to attract visitors from around the world.
