I see some reviewers calling this place incredible and giving it 5 stars. That's interesting to me. If this is incredible then what would they say about St. Peter's in Rome or the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul? I also don't think the place deserves a 1-star rating. It is impressive in its sheer size and the ruins of the church are quite photogenic. Having said that I'm not sure if its worth the 40 Q admission price. There are no plaques or explanations of any kind and there are no facilities such as WC's and the gardens look a bit ill-maintained. No restoration work being done here neither, I'd say there are other, better ruins in Antigua.

One of my favorite places in Antigua to photograph engagement sessions and wedding couples photos! Literally looks like the set of a Game of Thrones Episode. It's the perfect setting to capture the romance and magic of your relationship. Always excited to shoot here!

Although is a historical place with all the money that the collect from tourists-especially foreigners-the facilities are filled with trash,the gardens have no maintenance,the patios inside are completely abandoned. It just draw my attention that behind a bars gate there was a pizza box-it supposed that's a place nobody can enter-wich makes me conclude that the authorities in charge of the preservation and adornment of the site are the one that promotes en endorses clutter and filth everywhere.

Quite a stunning place. We really loved walking through it and reading about the history. Be sure to save your tickets, since you can reuse them at about 5 other sites.

This place is beautiful. It’s amazing to see the ruins, and still be able to visualize The great architecture that they used back then. There were a lot of students in the area studying. This place is definitely worth the visit.

Beautiful place!! And cheap if your a student (Q20), Q40 if your not and a foreigner.

There Are a lot of cathedrals and churches and stuff but this is one of the few that you can explore all around on your own. Really cool to see the old Spanish stuff.

Beautiful place to walk around but it's one of the least taken care of compared to the ruins more close to the centre which I would recommend above this one.

I stumbled upon this place while walking around Antigua. The admission fee is 40Q for tourists. You get a small map with historical information about the place but other then that, it is simply walk around at your own pace. I found a nice spot in the shade, over looking what appeared to be a court yard and spent about an hour enjoying the peace and quiet. As mentioned by other reviewers, it isn't in the best of shape but, it is still a very nice piece of history for the area and if your interested in that, I would recommend visiting.

Awesome experience. Didn’t expect this to be as awesome. You can walk among the ruines, there’s a little leaflet to explain the history. Massive place. Really enjoyed spending an hour exploring around

Stunning site that has been seemingly left untouched since the 1773 earthquake. The ruins are pretty much left as they were, with enormous chunks of wall strewn across the site. Visiting the church is impressive, but it's even better to get lost in the cloister remnants. Great spot for unique photographs

This was such a cool experience! The ruins were much bigger than I was expecting and we’ll worth the cost. Beautiful grounds with shade to sit in afterwards.

Of all the church ruins in Antigua, this is my favorite. Like San Jeronimo, the grounds surrounding the structure are a park. But inside the structure, it is not! The main church building remains in a perpetual state of collapsed rubble since its destruction in the 1773 earthquake that ended Antigua as the capital of Mesoamerica. Standing on the rubble you sense the sheer size of the original building. All that was above you is now below you in a haphazard jumble. Going through the rest of the adjoining building seems to be on level ground. But if you look at how low the arches and doorways are, you realize that you are on leveled out rubble with grass on it.

I'd visit a few of the other convents/monasteries in Antigua, then come here. It was impressive to be able to walk among the ruins of the earthquake and experience what kind of damage it can do.
