In
Central America one may witness the splendor of the
colonial era in such treasures as the city of Antigua
Guatemala. Once the capital of the whole of Central
America, Antigua was the third most important Spanish
settlement in all of the Americas. During many years
of wealthy Spanish rule, palaces, churches, parks, fountains
and the cathedral were built. Today, viewed and guarded
as a national treasure, this beautifully restored and
preserved colonial city looks much as it did 200 years
ago.
