Cette place a été aménagée en collaboration avec l'ambassade d'Allemagne au Guatemala et la municipalité de Guatemala. Son vaste espace permet d'observer un panorama du sud de la ville de Guatemala ainsi que les vestiges du mur de Berlin, tombé en 1989.

Reforma Avenue was conceived as a symbol of progress and modernity, and in its early years was surrounded by neoclassical mansions and buildings that reflected the elegance of the Guatemalan elite. Today it is a corporate and commercial corridor, with hotels, offices and restaurants, but retains its historic character thanks to monuments and green areas. It is also a civic space, scene of parades, homeland celebrations and cultural activities.

It was built between 1927 and 1941 at the initiative of Felipe Yurrita, a Spanish immigrant. The work was an offering to the Virgin of Anguish, patron saint of her hometown in Spain, in gratitude for having protected her family during the eruption of the Santa Maria volcano in 1902.

The Civic Center of Guatemala is one of the most important and representative architectural complexes of Guatemala City, both for its historical value and for its administrative and cultural function. It is considered Cultural Heritage of the Nation, for its historical and artistic relevance.

It is a space full of color, aromas and sounds, where the daily life of Guatemalans is mixed with the curiosity of visitors. During the visit to the Central Market, visitors can enjoy typical Guatemalan cravings.

À l'intérieur de la cathédrale, vous pourrez voir les peintures de Pedro Ramírez, des images coloniales, la réplique du Christ Noir d'Esquipulas, la Vierge du Socorro et le Maître-Autel.

La conception de cette ville est basée sur le concept d'urbanisme classique où l'urbanisme est réalisé en fonction des besoins des habitants.
