About In 1618, the plot of land that is occupied by the Temple Del Calvary was donated to the members of the Third Order of San Francisco.

Its members not only took charge personally of raising funds among the people for its construction, but they also cut the wood, made the adobe blocks, etc. Many honorable citizens followed this Example. Inaugurated in 1655, it was destroyed 62 years later by the earthquake of 1717.

Its reconstruction, which is mostly what we see today, lasted three years and was financed personally be the then president of the Audience or Royal government. The last chapel or Station of the Cross of the Calvary is found inside its courtyard. During the traditional celebrations of Holy Week in Antigua a procession begins in the Church of San Francisco, continuing along the poplar grove that leads to the Calvary Church.

Paintings by Antonio Montufar and Tomas Merlo, as well as two magnificent sculptures, may still be seen inside the church.

Such wonderful architecture you have down there. And you presented it so well with the frame and the puffy clouds and the good strong lighting. It's hard to stop looking at it.

Very well done, Alison! Wonderfully composed with the framing of the archway, and retention of detail in both highlight and shadow areas. Thanks for the details in the "about", as well!
