Iximche archaeological site
Iximche archaeological site
Iximche was the capital of the Kaqchikeles. It was founded around 1463 in a flat and relatively
elevated area, following the Mayan construction custom. The original settlers,
the Cakchiqueles, presented rivalry with the Quichés, and the place is constituted as the
last capital of the Kaqchiquel Mayas.
Paradoxically, in 1524, Iximché would become the first capital of the Spanish conquerors in
Guatemala. Due to the hostility of the indigenous people, this city founded by
Pedro de Alvarado was transferred to the Almolonga valley as “Santiago de
los Caballeros de Guatemala”.
Upon entering, several ceremonial plazas with constructions that reach ten meters in
height can be seen.
