Antigua, the colonial capital of the Reino de Guatemala, comprising present-day Central America, nurtured a building tradition which resulted in a distinctive style reflecting the social, econ., and political forces which operated there for 250 years. Markman carried out a archaeological investigation of Antigua, examining the physical remains of the buildings damaged by an earthquake and abandoned in 1773. He provides an analysis of the elements of the style, part by part, together with a background history of the city itself and such matters as materials and methods of construction, labor and the building trades, architects, etc. Numerous illustrations of plans and photos.
