🔍 Church and Convent of San Agustín ⛪️
📍 Seen in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala 🇬🇹
💬 Construction of this church began in 1657. However, two earthquakes (in 1751 and 1773) caused considerable damage, nearly destroying it. The last earthquake, in 1917, caused the collapse of the dome of the main altar, leaving only the walls we see today standing.
