Our New Location Academia Colonial has moved to Casa Convento Concepción. The original structure was Antigua's first convent dating back to 1578 and has been rebuilt several times, most recently in 2004. The new school is located in one of the safest parts of Antigua close to Hotel Casa Santa Domingo. 
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 - Four Blocks from Central Park Academia Colonial Spanish School is only four blocks from Central Park where you will find la Cathedral de Santiago. 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.
