About About the place

San Jose El Viejo is a historic church ruin in Antigua, Guatemala, dating back to 1749. Damaged by the 1773 earthquake, the structure remains remarkably well-preserved, showcasing intricate carvings and mosaics. While often used for events, particularly weddings and quinceañeras, it's a popular spot for visitors interested in Antigua's architectural heritage. The site is conveniently located near the city's central park and main market, making it easily accessible. The adjacent building was once part of the church complex and now houses a Spanish language school.
