Church of San Francisco (Iglesia de San Francisco)

Nestled in the heart of Antigua, Guatemala, the multi-domed Church of San Francisco (Iglesia de San Francisco) stands as a significant pilgrimage site. The church is renowned for housing the tomb of Saint Brother Peter (Santo Hermano Pedro), a Franciscan monk who dedicated his life to serving the poor by establishing a hospital. In 2002, Pope John Paul II canonized Brother Peter, elevating the site’s importance. Today, visitors can pay their respects at the saint’s tomb, one of the most venerated holy sites in Antigua, and experience the serene and reverent atmosphere within the church.
