Iglesia de San José, Panamá 🇵🇦 While a discreet facade can be seen from the outside, the interior of this church is truly breathtaking. Its gold leaf altar, dating to the early 1700s, was saved from pirates by friars who covered it in mud to fool them.

Parroquia de la Purísima Concepción, Guatemala 🇬🇹 The town of Ciudad Vieja was, for a short time, the capital of Guatemala. Built in 1531, it has one of the most intricate, unique facades among Guatemala's churches, housing images of the archangels Raphael, Gabriel, and Michael.

Parroquia San Benito, El Salvador 🇸🇻 While many of our more conservative brothers don't usually love modernist design, the Catholic Church has historically championed new artists: some of the finest 20th century modernist buildings are churches and chapels, such as this one.

Parroquia y Convento de La Merced (2) Guatemala 🇬🇹 Earthquakes forced the city to relocate and rebuild several times. After the 1773 tragedy, the city and its churches moved to their current location. This is the "newer", 1813 La Merced, in Guatemala City's historic center.

@DeJadezafiro No es renacentista per se, pero tiene ciertos elementos de ese estilo, debido a que su primera fase empieza en 1563 por lo que estos elementos se observan principalmente en su estructura y distribución. Su fachada ciertamente contiene más elementos barrocos.

Convento de San Francisco, Nicaragua 🇳🇮 Founded in 1529 as the first church and convent of the city of Granada. It survived fires, pirate attacks and was even used as a fortress by filibuster William Walker in the 1800s, after which it was turned into a school and then a museum.

Yasu Kohei (1844-1917) was a japanese photographer who settled in Guatemala in the late 19th century, embracing catholicism, baptized Juan José de Jesús Yas. His work captures the beauty and mystery of Antigua Guatemala and its catholic tradition before the 1917 earthquakes 🇬🇹

🇬🇹 José de Jesús Yas took several portraits from clerics, including Ricardo Casanova y Estrada (in the first image), Archbishop of Guatemala from 1886 to 1913, who for years endured the oppression of liberal governments and was therefore exiled for 9 years from the country.

Iglesia Nuestra Señora de las Angustias, Guatemala 🇬🇹 During the 1902 Santa María volcano eruption, wealthy businessman Felipe Yurrita promised Our Lady of Sorrows he would build a temple in her honor if his family survived. That vow became the iconic Iglesia Yurrita.

Parroquia San Isidro Labrador, Costa Rica 🇨🇷 While a small chapel existed in the town before, this neogothic was built in 1930 after (as in many cases in Central America), the previous church was damaged in an earthquake. It has since become a landmark in the town of Coronado.

@KalienlaDisco Actually not! While I have found no official cause of death, he was known to be in ill health by 1914, and died in February 1917. The first big earthquake hit on Christmas Day that same year. As for his family, it's very likely they now live in Guatemala City.
