The map
Antigua Guatemala sits in a highland valley in the department of Sacatepéquez, and its centre is one of the clearest Spanish colonial grids in the Americas. Streets run in straight lines north to south and east to west, forming regular blocks around the Parque Central. The grid ends quite abruptly at the edges of the valley, where fields and slopes begin.
The city was the capital of the Captaincy General of Guatemala until a series of earthquakes in 1773 led to the capital being moved to what is now Guatemala City. Many churches and convents were left in ruins, and the preserved city is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Three volcanoes surround the valley: Agua, Fuego and Acatenango.
An Antigua Guatemala map poster turns that orderly plan into a clean graphic image, with the grid, the plazas and the open spaces of ruined convents clearly visible. The Santa Catalina Arch spans one of the northern streets, a small but famous detail of the townscape, while the slopes of Volcán de Agua rise to the south.
Straight streets meet at right angles across the whole centre, creating an exceptionally regular pattern of blocks that reads clearly on a black-and-white poster.
The central square sits at the heart of the grid, flanked by the cathedral and colonial government buildings, the point from which the city is laid out.
Beyond the grid, the ground rises towards the slopes of Agua to the south, with Fuego and Acatenango to the south-west, framing the city in its valley.
