La Recolección

from Discovering Antigua Guatemala Hosted by Hugo Dávila

The Iglesia y Monasterio de la Recolección, built in the 18th century for the Recollect Friars, reflects the grandeur of colonial Baroque architecture and Antigua’s vulnerability to earthquakes. The complex, with its monumental church and monastic cloisters, was destroyed by the 1773 Santa Marta earthquake. Despite its abandonment, the ruins remain an iconic cultural site, hosting events that celebrate the city’s rich heritage and serving as a reminder of Antigua’s spiritual and historical legacy.
