The metropolitan cathedral in Guatemala celebrates 200 years since its construction. Its the biggest and oldest cathedral in Guatemala and has a lot of history for all Catholic people.

Here is a view of the external facade.

Central atrium. It has marble and floor decorations.

I liked this picture, specially the way the ligh appears in the atrium.

At one side of the cathedral there is a museum with all kinds of religious implements but at the time it was closed.
