Santa Catalina Arch

“It is the most photographed icon of Antigua and a key piece of its colonial history.”

The Santa Catalina Arch is an emblematic colonial arch from the 17th century located on 5th Avenue North. This iconic monument connects the Santa Catalina convent with its garden, allowing the nuns to cross without going out to the street. With a clear sky, the arch frames the view of the Agua Volcano, making it a perfect spot for photographs.
