Catedral de San José

The Cathedral of San José in Antigua, Guatemala, is an impressive temple that stands proud and tall despite the various avatars and earthquakes suffered over the years. The works were interrupted several times due to the frequent and continuous seismic movements, finally coming to fruition in 1680. However, later earthquakes damaged it again on different occasions. The one in 1976 destroyed the facade almost completely, but the structure has been totally rehabilitated. The Cathedral is a beautiful baroque style building that is very close to the Plaza Central square and the school.
