The Lienzo de Quauhquechollan is a pictographic painting on cotton cloth, created circa 1530. The Lienzois considered the first map of Guatemala. It is also the only firsthand indigenous account of the conquest of Guatemala, and one of the few sources to record the military campaigns of Jorge de Alvarado in 1527-1530.

This is the church of the Rosary Virgin and She is place up in the main altar. The main altar is beautiful and all with gold. Now that is Holy Week the Jesus of Nazareth caring the cross,this Jesusis one of the most beautiful images you are going to see in the world. Guatemala had the best colonial carvers and the best stucco in gold. An amazing church to visit. It a Bacilica, so it’s huge and there is a convent next door that is being reconstructed

It was just kind of a "welcoming change", I would say, after walking along the streets of the city's area with mostly heritage-styled buildings (likely its downtown which was not too crowded but still in a "close proximity" to buildings as can be expected being in like a city's core) to arrive at this impressive-sized plaza (likely "more a rectangle" than a square): where right about at the center is a fair-sized fountain with a "raised platform" right beside the fountain (for some good 360-degree viewing of the Plaza while leaning against the platform's railings), where also at about the center is a national flag (pretty-good-sized to look up above), and where also seen at the time (but yes likely a "usual scenario") just quite spread out over the Plaza's ground area were a "huge swarm" of pigeons with actually also kind of not surprisingly an outdoor vendor for pigeon food right nearby. And yes, to do in conjunction with this plaza (for about a half-day sightseeing in total) are Catedral Metropolitana on the Plaza's east side (with a pretty great "decorative interior" of nice paintings & these super-sized medals kind of a "unique feature" the likes of which I have seen at no other cathedral) and Palacio Nacional on the Plaza's north side (with 2 levels of a "fairly impressive" interior with some stairway murals, beautiful rooms & miscellaneous displays). Also, quite conveniently located in a close vicinity "pretty much right around" this plaza are Mercado Central (for all various Guatemala souvenirs and also with a food court for "local meals") and fast-food places such as McDonald's & Pizza Hut. Among the "main plazas" of South & Central Americas (with one in every capital & also some smaller cities), I was impressed most by "3 of them" one of which being this plaza (along with those of Bogota & Mexico City) for their wide-open spaciousness not just due to the size but also taking into account being uncluttered by things such as trees & flower beds (as is the case at some plazas making them less wide-open).

Very nice layout and walkable from many hotels Well maintained trees If you fly the 24 of December, do not miss fireworks from the plane all over Guatemala city and Antigua. Open your window and watch. Worth spending under 15 min to 1 hour walking around. Do not be intimidated by police presence in tourist areas. "Refaccciones" mean light meals.
