The iconic Santa Catalina Arch is one of the most photographed landmarks in all Latin America. Built in the late 17th century, the Arch enabled the cloistered nuns living in the Convent of Santa Catalina Martir to travel between their two buildings. Each year, hundreds of thousands of visitors to Antigua pose in front of this brightly yellow-colored walkway with Iglesia La Merced to its north and Volcán de Agua to its south. You will also find dozens of shops and restaurants along its busy street.
