Zone 2
This zone was founded as a town for indigenous people transferred from Antigua, Guatemala, the former capital of the kingdom. With the construction of the North Hippodrome, during the Liberal Government, many wealthy families built residences on the Avenida del Hipódromo. Some of these houses are still standing today, and belong to private families. The famous Mapa en Relieve of the Guatemalan Republic was constructed in 1904. It is the only map of its kind in the world and a tourist attraction in its own right.
