Very interesting story behind this ruin that has had no restoration since the last time it was leveled. 1690 Monks of Recolecion showed up and asked permission to build a monastery and church. Denied. By 1700 about 25 had shown up. Without permission they started building and by 1706 had a fabulous place ready. 6 months later. Massive earthquake and destroyed. 10 years of rebuilding and reopened. Then the big 1717 quake leveled it again. They gave up and it has sat as it was in 1717, almost 300 years ago.

Massive set of ruins, a little pricey when compared to the other ruins in the city (although still only £3), about a 10 minute walk from the centre. You are able to climb over the fallen chunks of masonry, and although there are no signs you are given a guide (in English on request) to the history etc of the site

I'm amazed that you can actually walk through the ruins (yes: up, over, around, down and inside). There are even frescos and carvings still visible and you can walk right up to them! The walls are 20 feet deep, but you can't imagine how massive that actually is until you walk atop it. The most impressive ruin in the city.

I could have spent hours longer here and will definitely visit again on my next trip to Antigua. The ruins are beautiful - I like to imagine what it was like in the 1700s. If you're a photo buff, you will definitely love this place! It is a little bit more towards the edge of town, but worth the hike.

These ruins are a little far from central square, and tour guides might not take there because the distance. But if you are planing your own trip, you most go visit this place, the church was huge, but all the roof collapsed, and now, there is a staircase to gen inside the church. Is amazing to walk around in the ruins, and the feeling of peace is second to none.
