On
Alameda
Santa
Lucia
and
5
Poniente
Street,
a
white
building
stands
out,
it
could
be
made
of
huge
marble,
there
is
the
monument
dedicated
to
the
poet
Rafael
Landivar
y
Caballero.
Born
on
October
27,
1731,
he
graduated
from
USAC
in
philosophy
and
as
an
arts
teacher.
After
the
death
of
his
father
he
traveled
to
Mexico,
where
he
became
known
as
a
poet.
Enter
the
company
of
Jesus.
In
1755
he
was
ordained
as
a
priest
and
began
to
write
poetry
in
Latin.
He
is
expelled
and
goes
to
live
in
Italy
until
his
death
in
1793.
His
other
very
famous
one
is
"Rusticatio
Mexicano"
published
in
1781
and
again
in
1782
in
Bolognia,
Italy.
The
entrance
to
this
monument
is
through
the
Alameda,
there
is
an
entrance
booth
where
entry
is
paid.
You
enter
the
building
and
find
the
tomb,
a
monument,
two
windows
and
a
brief
description
of
the
poet's
life.
Around
there
are
beautiful
gardens,
in
the
back
there
is
a
shed
where
they
keep
gardening
tools,
a
well,
an
area
with
tables,
where
cultural
and
educational
activities
are
carried
out
under
the
shade
of
trees.
Following
our
walk
you
will
find
the
services.
sanitary.
During
our
walk
we
heard
marimba
sounds;
Following
the
sounds
of
the
keyboard,
we
arrived
at
a
hostel,
where
the
marimba
was
practiced.
A
marimba
teacher
was
teaching
the
marimba
to
a
group
of
students.
We
listened
to
the
class
for
a
few
minutes,
in
that
same
room
there
were
books
that
gave
the
impression
that
it
was
a
library.
We
enjoyed
this
ride.
Upon
arriving
at
the
entrance
booth
we
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
the
person
in
charge
and
he
told
us
that
part
of
it
belongs
to
the
USAC
and
there
is
a
part
that
is
administered
by
the
municipality
of
Antigua.
That
this
monument
was
closed
due
to
the
pandemic
and
is
now
returning
to
normal,
the
gardening
is
part
of
it.
I
also
mentioned
that
there
are
activities
for
schools
and
it
is
usually
in
October.
There
are
other
courses
such
as
toward
marimba
sponsored
by
USAC.
If
we
were
interested
we
would
have
to
visit
the
Saint
Thomas
Aquinas
FB
page.
