Stunning piece of historical architecture! Great place to capture a picture with the famous volcano in the back. I highly recommend visiting in the early morning if you're staying in Antigua.

Cobblestone streets, narrow sidewalks so always be aware of your footing! Not a time to walk and look up at the buildings or inside the markets. Stop to do that! The volcano is often covered in clouds, so if you’re lucky, the clouds will dissipate briefly so you can snap an iconic photo!

The Santa Catalina Arch is the most iconic landmark in Antigua Guatemala! A must-see spot with stunning colonial charm and amazing views of Agua Volcano. Perfect for photos, strolling the cobblestone streets, and soaking in the city’s history and culture.

An iconic picture to get while in Antigua. Historical and very beautiful. Definitely have to see while you are in town here in Antigua. Many restaurants and a nice park nearby. Great for photo ops

This is a cool spot. Like the entire city, a historical place, many happy people can be found getting a photo here. The stree is often congested with vehicle and pedestrian traffic, also vendors selling their wares. Lined with shops, restaurants, a wine y cacao bar, a visit to Antigua wouldn't be complete without a walk through the arc enroyte to iglesia la Merced.

One of the top photo ops in Antigua. The arch dates back to the 1600s. If you are lucky you will also get a view of the volcano. There are shops and restaurants that also line the street

17th century arch originally built for nuns to cross between the school & convent unseen. To avoid the crowds & get some pics without hundreds of people, go in the morning before 9am.

It's a nice landmark of Antigua, but not spectacular.
It didn't help that we could not take a picture with the volcano in the background for it was shrouded in clouds during our stay.
