Antigua Guatemala's cobblestone streets date to the Spanish colonial grid laid out in the 16th century, after the city was founded as the capital of the Captaincy General of Guatemala in 1543. The city was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979 for its well-preserved colonial architecture and urban plan. Mototaxis, known locally as tuk-tuks, operate as licensed taxi service in Antigua and surrounding towns, carrying passengers on short trips where larger vehicles are impractical on the narrow, stone-paved roads.
