Antigua's Unsurpassed Beauty Antigua, founded in 1543, originally known as Ciudad de Santiago de los Caballeros (city of St. James of the knights of Guatemala), was the capital of Guatemala during much of the colonial period and is home to some of the best preserved Spanish colonial architecture in the world.  You will fall in love with the city's ruins, architecture, and cobblestone streets.
Location - Two Blocks from Central Park Academia Colonial Spanish School is only two blocks from Central Park. Everything is within close walking distance. Pictured is la Cathedral de Santiago located in central park. The cathedral which dates back to 1542 has been demolished twice and is currently only partially rebuilt since the earthquake of 1773. At the height of its grandeur it boasted 7 entrances, 5 naves and, 78 chapels. 
Antigua's Arch of Santa Catalina The Arch of Santa Catalina dates back to 1694 when the nuns of St. Catherine who founded their convent in 1617 outgrew their current location. Naturally they purchased the property across the street and built the arch so that the nuns could pass between the buildings without being seen.
Newly Renovated Spanish School Academia Colonial's newly renovated school - beautiful, comfortable, and centrally located.
View of the Mountains You may study in the patio, the portico, inside, or on the second floor to enjoy the fresh air and a view of the mountains.
