This is one of the two sundials I have encountered in Antigua Guatemala. One is located on 4a avenida norte and the other on 6a calle oriente. Of course, you can’t read the time on overcast days; no wander clocks were invented.
There’s only one spot in the entire city where you can find all three iconic elements, mermaids, lions and a Santiago in beautiful composition; I often take photography enthusiasts and photographers to this spot during my Antigua Photo Walks as part of the photographic exploration of this enchanting town; make sure to join me in a photo walk next time you visit Antigua Guatemala…
Did you know that there are over hundred mermaids in Antigua Guatemala and you can find them on churches, convents, private homes and businesses as well as in the main square fountain? The mermaid shown here is on the façade of Taco Bell.
Did you know we have thousands of images of Santiago [Saint James Apostle] all over Antigua Guatemala such as these ceiling tiles? Do you know why we have so many Santiagos around Antigua Guatemala?
