Listen "Santa Catalina Arch"
Episode Synopsis
The Santa Catalina Arch, built in 1694 in Antigua Guatemala, connected the Convent of Santa Catalina’s buildings, enabling cloistered nuns to cross the street discreetly. A blend of Baroque architecture and 19th-century additions, such as its iconic clock, the arch symbolizes resilience, surviving the 1773 earthquakes. Today, it remains a cultural and historical landmark, central to Holy Week processions, daily life, and Antigua’s unique blend of colonial heritage and natural beauty.
