Listen "The Belén School and Church complex"
Episode Synopsis
The Belén School and Church, founded in the 18th century by the Bethlemite Brothers in Antigua Guatemala, served as a center for education and social care, providing refuge for orphans and the sick. The Baroque church featured ornate carvings and images of saints, while the school had courtyards and dormitories for children. Damaged by the 1773 earthquakes and affected by 19th-century reforms, the complex fell into decline. Despite this, it remains a symbol of faith, charity, and resilience.
