Parked Cars Along a Cobblestone Lane Near Volcán de Agua, Antigua

Volcán de Agua rises about 3,760 meters above sea level just south of Antigua Guatemala, and its symmetrical cone is visible from streets throughout the city. Antigua's grid of cobblestone streets dates to the 16th century, when the city served as the capital of the Captaincy General of Guatemala. UNESCO designated the city's historic center a World Heritage Site in 1979, citing its well-preserved colonial layout and architecture. Many of the low buildings lining streets like this one combine original colonial walls with later additions, a pattern common throughout the city after repeated earthquake damage prompted rebuilding over the centuries.
