📍 El Calvario, Antigua Guatemala — By Night

Bathed in moonlight and history, El Calvario is one of Antigua, Guatemala’s most spiritually rich and architecturally enduring landmarks. Captured here in the stillness of night, this 17th-century church has witnessed centuries of devotion, processions, and resilience.

Founded in 1618 by the Franciscan order, El Calvario marks the final station of the Via Crucis — the symbolic Mount Calvary. Though modest on the outside, the church’s baroque interior holds intricate plasterwork and a solemn retablo dedicated to the Holy Sepulcher.

🌸 In its garden blooms a living relic—the Esquisúchil tree, planted in 1657 by Brother Pedro de San José Betancur, Central America’s only saint. In 2004, its fragrant flowers and healing legacy were recognized as a National Cultural Heritage.

Despite centuries of earthquakes, including the devastating 1773 quake that reshaped Antigua, El Calvario remains a testament to faith and endurance.

✨ At night, the silence deepens. The shadows stretch. And history seems to whisper through its walls.
