National library: In my opinion it is very beautiful because it has too much history, I like the architecture with which it is formed because we can see something baroque but at the same time modern because it is already a bit updated but it maintains some old aspects to enhance its ancient beauty

national palace: Once with my family and it is very nice to see how they have a miniature of the same palace and you can see everything that is there in detail, they also do a tour where they show you old elements such as the independence signature, war armor, etc.

Cathedral: I have not had the opportunity to visit it but from what I have heard it is really beautiful, I think that since it is a historic Catholic center in Guatemala it has a lot of emphasis on enhancing the architecture a lot, since a century ago the only art that was considered was everything that it had to be with religion.

National Library: there, I can see a new machine named Mark II (like Iron Man) that transform the physical pages of a book to digital pages.

National Palace: there are some sculptures, iconic things like the national coin and some beautiful and signification drawings.

Catedral: Is a religious place in which you have to be in silence if you want to enter, and you feel like the peace and calm that are the characteristics of a church.
