Antigua Guatemala — Calle del Arco (Arco de Santa Catalina)

Antigua Guatemala (commonly Antigua or La Antigua) is a colonial city in the central highlands that served as the capital of the Captaincy General of Guatemala from the mid-16th century until the late 18th century. Calle del Arco and the Arco de Santa Catalina are situated within the city's preserved historic center and are repeatedly cited in travel and photographic sources as emblematic visual symbols of Antigua's Baroque-influenced colonial architecture. Photographs and guides commonly highlight the ochre-and-white arch spanning Calle del Arco with Volcán de Agua visible beyond, and the street is frequently recommended as a must-see for visitors.
