Agua Volcano Over Antigua, Guatemala

The Agua Volcano looms over Antigua, Guatemala, a city founded in the 16th century as the colonial capital of the Captaincy General of Guatemala. This stratovolcano, one of three major volcanoes surrounding Antigua, has been dormant since its last eruption in 1541, which contributed to the city's eventual relocation. Today, Antigua remains a UNESCO World Heritage site, celebrated for its well-preserved Spanish Baroque architecture and its enduring cultural significance.
