We will start our tour visiting the church of La Merced of Guatemalan Ultrabaroque style, this temple has two bell towers. On the facade of the church, in its upper part is a sculpture of San Pedro Nolasco, founder of the Mercedarian Order.

Continuing our walking we will visit the Arch of Santa Catalina, built to connect the nuns between cloisters to avoid being seen due to the votes that the religious who belonged to that Order took, After the earthquakes of 1773, the arch became important due to the arrangements that were made. These arrangements included the construction of a turret and the inclusion of a Lamy Amp Lacroix watch of French origin.

Central Park is located at the heart of the city, surrounded by the traditional grid pattern frequently utilised in Spanish urban planning in the colonies. The park is surrounded by the Palace of the Generals Captain ,the City Hall, the church of San José (formerly the Cathedral of Guatemala), the Archbishops Palace and the Portal of Commerce (or the Bakers Portal). Here, visitors will also find the beautiful Mermaids Fountain. The Count of Gomera (Gomera is the word for a rubber plantation) the fountain was built in remembrance of a popular legend, which tells the storey of a King whose daughters gave birth but did not want to nurse their children. Learn about this famous storey as you immerse yourself in the legendary colonial city.

Continue our way we will visit the La Unión tank, which is one of the most representative laundries in this city, only the big houses had a place where they could be washed.
