The Parish of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios

The Parish of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, founded in the 16th century, served the spiritual needs of Antigua Guatemala’s peripheral communities. Dedicated to the Virgin of Los Remedios, protector in times of crisis, it became a key site for Marian devotion. Its Baroque-style façade featured niches with saintly images and a central altar adorned with gilded carvings. Damaged by the 1773 earthquakes, it fell into decline after the capital’s relocation. Restoration efforts in the 20th century preserved its legacy.
