This photo conveys how significant the church square is in Santiago Atitlan. Here you see the church, founded in 1547, a large cross in the center of the square, kids jumping on a trampoline, a small ferris wheel to the left, and girls chatting. Opposite the church, as shown in the photo above, is the looming San Pedro volcano. Upon its slopes, before Santiago Atitlan was formed by the Spanish conquistadores, lay the original center of the Tz'utujil, Chuitinamit.
