San Juan del Obispo
San Juan del Obispo is a small village in Guatemala. It is located in the department of Sacatepéquez, close to the departmental capital Antigua Guatemala.
The village is famous for holding one of the first Catholic churches in Guatemala. Francisco Marroquín, the first bishop of Guatemala, resided in San Juan del Obispo. The church was restored in 1948 by José Luis Álvarez.
A long string of overseas volunteers have lived and worked voluntarily in the village, providing education and a safe environment for children from poor homes in the areas surrounding the volcano side.
