The Arco de Santa Catalina is one of the most iconic landmarks in Antigua Guatemala, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This picturesque arch was originally constructed in the 17th century to allow cloistered nuns from the Santa Catalina Convent to pass from one building to another without having to cross the street. The arch's bright yellow façade and clock tower, added in the 19th century, make it a popular spot for photographs.
