Antigua, Guatemala

Historical Building

By Will Gray

.

This is a pleasant ruin fronted by flower-filled gardens with a fountain at its centre. Built as a school by Mercedarian friars in 1757 it was closed by Charles III just four years later because it did not have royal approval. After a brief life as the Royal customs house it was destroyed by the earthquake in 1773. If you are a ruins buff then go in, but if not it is probably not worth the cash as you can see most of it from outside the fence.
