EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print showcases the timeless beauty of Antigua Guatemala, with its most iconic landmark, the Arco de Santa Catalina. Built in 1693-1694 to provide a discreet passage for nuns, this arch has become an emblematic symbol of the city's rich history and captivating charm. Antigua itself is a partially restored colonial gem, boasting majestic churches, monasteries, and cobblestone streets that transport visitors back in time. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979, it exudes an irresistible allure for tourists seeking cultural immersion and architectural marvels. In this photograph by Kryssia Campos from Fine Art Storehouse, we witness the aging process gracefully etched into every stone of this ancient structure. Its weathered facade stands as a testament to centuries gone by while still emanating an air of grandeur. The vibrant yellow hues adorning the village buildings create a striking contrast against the backdrop of Agua Volcano.
