It was know as Ciudad de Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala. It was founded in 1543. The Municipio has a population¹ of 44,604. It is capital of Departamento of Sacatepéquez. Here you can find all kinds of places, hotels, handcraft stores, restaurants, bars, markets, internet cafés, Spanish academies, discos and many more.	Personal favorites for food:
	Frida's - Mexican Food Vinos y Quesos - Italian Food La Fonda de la Calle Real - Guatemalan traditional food Cafe Opera - Really expensive, but good sandwiches with non-descriptive names of volcanoes
	Personal favorites for hotels:
	Casa Santo Domingo - The biggest, most impressive hotel in Antigua, it is not only impressive as an hotel but also is worth a visit. La Casa de los Sueños - Very nice hotel, 8 room and you have to ask for room 8, costs twice as much but it is worth it. La Quinta de las Flores - Featured in some TV shows (I think P&A), great place to stay.
Santa Catarina's Arch One of Antigua's icon is this famous arch found in one of the main streets of Antigua, around here you can find restaurants, discos, stores, libraries, markets and more.
