Colegio de San San Jerónimo

School of San Jerónimo

It was build in 1757. It was closed in 1761 by King Carlos III, because it was opened without authorization. and was ordered to be torn down. Because it was very good built, there was opposition to the demolition and  it became Royal Customs in 1761 by request of Capitan General Ferández de Heredia.  It was destroyed by earthquakes in 1773.  Founded by the Order of Mercedarians

It is located at Alameda de Santa Lucía and 1ra Calle Poniente (1st West Street). It is open to the public and admission is charged. It is kept by the Consejo Nacional para la Protección de Antigua Guatemala.
