The Hermitage of Santa Cruz

  • Summary

  • The Hermitage of Santa Cruz in Antigua Guatemala is a hidden colonial gem with deep historical and religious significance. Built in the 17th century to spread the Catholic faith, it served as a retreat for prayer and reflection. Its simple Baroque design, with thick masonry walls, helped it withstand earthquakes like those of 1773. Surrounded by legends of protection and divine guidance, it remains a symbol of hope. Today, it attracts visitors for its peaceful setting and annual Holy Cross celebrations.
