Santo Domingo Convent

from Discovering Antigua Guatemala · host Hugo Dávila

The Convent of Santo Domingo, founded in 1542, was a major religious and cultural hub in colonial Central America. Known for its Baroque architecture and contributions to education, it suffered extensive damage in the 1773 earthquake, leading to its abandonment. Restored in the 20th century, it now houses the Hotel Museo Casa Santo Domingo, preserving its historical essence through museums and exhibitions. The site reflects Antigua’s colonial heritage and the enduring influence of the Dominican Order.
