One of the many church ruins in Antigua is this one, which was built by the Jesuits.
Adjacent to the church, was their convent, which as been rebuilt by Spain as the site for the Centro de Formación de la Cooperación Española. They have a library, exhibits, have movies, host meetings and cultural events. This week, for instance, they are hosting three free concerts: a blues band from the U.S., and two jazz bands - one from Mexico and another from Italy.
The interior is very quiet and restful. We often stop here to study, read or just enjoy the solitude, especiall when Antigua is full of tourists, which is usually every weekend.
The interior is divided into two courtyards.
One special feature are all the blooming plants that grace the interior.
It's truly a beautiful place. Why don't you come to Antigua and we'll take you to see it for yourself?
