Tourist attraction in Antigua Guatemala

GUATEMALA CITY, GUATEMALA - FEBRUARY 11: Tourist eat pizza at a restaurant as shoeshiners sit outside in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala on February 11, 2015. Throughout history Antigua Guatemala was repeatedly damaged by earthquakes, and always rebuilt, bigger and better. On July 29, 1773, earthquakes wrought such destruction that officials petitioned the King of Spain to allow them to move the capital to safer ground, which led to the founding in 1776 of present-day Guatemala City. Today its monumental bougainvillea-draped ruins, and its preserved and carefully restored Spanish colonial public buildings and private mansions attract tourist attention.
