We stopped as part of a day tour to An5igua. This is a must see attraction for history and architecture buffs. Not easily handicapped accessible. Wear study walking shoes. Beautiful photo opps inside of the ruins.
The grounds of the convent are not bad BUT if you don't know what you are visiting, you will never know ....because...they don't tell you anything about anything. You Are better of goign to Hotel SantoDomingo where you can tour the grounds for FREE! And they have explanations.
friend got married here. it was the most spectacular wedding location i have ever been to. cathedral is amazing, location is great.
Interesting ruins, especially the remains of the tower that held cells for 18 resident nuns, each with its own toilet. Sadly nothing in the ruins is signposted and, the day I visited (during Semana Santa!), the museum itself was closed.
This convent is a must see! Get lost in it! It was incredible! However, it was more expensive than any of the other ruins or museums we visited in Antigua.
Wandering around was neat but the museum was closed and their wasn't any info that it was closed. Or other info on the ruins.
They charge you the same whether you come on a weekday when the museum is open (which hopefully gives some architectural and historical context) or on the weekend when it is closed. There is very little explanation of what you are seeing if you are there on the weekend. The ticket seller was less than welcoming. If your time is...

My brother had his wedding here and it was truly a magical event. It was almost like stepping into the past and experiencing a wedding in the 17th or 18th century. Very romantic setting for events.
There is a small museum of colonial art in the second floor. It has some very nice carved wooden statues that are unique. But the place needs further restoration, it feels unfinished.
