The Cathedral is located in the heart of the historic center east of the Plaza de la Constitution, previously known as Plaza Mayor. To the north is the Palacio Nacional of Culture, built in 1943 during the government of Jorge Ubico, toward the south, Trade Portal, built in 1924. The cathedral complex includes three buildings: the Cathedral, the center, the Archbishop's Palace to the north and the old Infant School to the south. The facade of the three buildings is oriented towards the west. There is, however, a fourth building that completes the entire block, this is the rectory or parish house, the first building completed and occupied in this complex. Of the four buildings, the larger is the Cathedral, followed by the Archbishop's Palace. All are one unit and are made in the same style, becoming the only buildings block or block Historical Center which remains unchanged for almost 200 years.
