历史
Guatemala City was founded in 1776 after the original capital, Antigua, was abandoned due to volcanic eruptions. The city has since grown into the political and cultural heart of Guatemala, reflecting a mix of indigenous and Spanish influences.
Throughout the 20th century, the city experienced significant political turmoil, including civil war and social unrest. Today, it stands as a testament to resilience, with ongoing efforts to preserve its rich heritage while embracing modernization.
