San Francisco el Grande Ruins, Antigua, Guatemala

The ruins of the San Francisco el Grande church in Antigua, Guatemala, stand against the backdrop of the Agua Volcano. Originally constructed in 1702, this significant religious structure was largely destroyed by earthquakes, a common occurrence in Antigua's history. The remaining stone and brickwork offer a glimpse into the colonial-era architecture and the enduring presence of faith in the region, despite the destruction of the original edifice.
