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…
Another element that is hidden in plain sight in Antigua Guatemala is the omnipresent cellular tower, which is camouflaged as a garbage deposit [black box hanging from the light poles]. If you pay close attention though, you will notice that there are vents, the boxes are slightly bigger and there is no opening to deposit the trash…
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?
