Guatemala, land of the Mayas, produced one of the richest colonial expressions in the world during the Spanish Empire. This richness is seen in its domestic architecture, constructed by the native heirs of Tikal and creators of the most beautiful textiles of tropical America. This book is a journey through the interiors of the best houses in Guatemala and the rebuilt city of Antigua, where decoration combines pre-hispanic axes, colonial wood carvings and regional handicrafts into the surroundings of a cosmopolitan city, a ranch in the country, a weekend house on the Pacific Ocean, and more.
