Casa de Artes is located within three blocks south (volcano direction) from Antigua's Central Park; in the "Historical Centre" of the world's renowned Colonial City of Antigua Guatemala. Antigua, was the capital of the Captaincy-General of Guatemala (now Central America) back in Colonial Times. Founded in the early 16th Century in the State of Sacatepéquez, at the Panchoy Valley; it was built on a grid pattern inspired by the Italian Renaissance. Situated 1,500 meters above sea-level, in an earthquake-prone region, it was largely destroyed by the “Santa Marta Earthquakes” in 1773 which forced to move the city to what now is Guatemala City. Therefore, the name “Antigua”.

The city acquired world fame when UNESCO declared it World Heritage Sight having "outstanding universal value" under the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1979. Now this vibrant city offers world class hotels, restaurants and all kinds of services one can imagine.
