Santa Catalina Arch är en av de mest populära turistplatserna i Antigua. Om du vill slå folkmassorna, kom tidigt. Agua vulkan, söder om bågen, syns främst bara på klara dagar.
Santa Catalina Arch (Arco de Santa Catalina) is located on 5a Avenida Norte and 2 Calle Poniente, about a block away from Iglesia de la Merced on Plaza Mayor, the main square in Antigua. The arch is within easy walking distance from any part of the city.

Canary yellow with white trim, the baroque La Merced Cathedral is one of Antigua’s few colonial churches to survive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Inside its thick walls are notable artworks such as a sculpture of Jesus carrying a golden cross, which is paraded through the streets on Palm Sunday and Good Friday. Be sure to climb the bell towers for a bird’s-eye view of the romantic UNESCO World Heritage–listed city.
