• Casa Santo Domingo Museums - The largest monastery in Antigua Guatemala, located on the grounds of the Santo Domingo Monastery. Casa Santo Domingo was originally a key convent in the Americas, housing followers of Santo Domingo de Guzmán. Established in 1538 with the arrival of the first Dominicans in Guatemala, the monastery was a grand structure with two towers and ten bells, rich in treasures and relics.

Though partially destroyed by the 1773 Santa Marta earthquake, the remaining structure stands as a monument to baroque architecture and historical treasures. The ancient walls, brick archways, and tile corridors reflect the history of the original Casa Santo Domingo. Part of the ruins has been transformed into Antigua’s only five-star hotel, which opened in 1989.

The original church, built around 1541, faced several earthquakes, leading to the demolition of the first building in 1669.
