Capilla de Yurrita
(Guatemala: Guatemala City)

December 2002
Guatemala: Guatemala City: Capilla de Yurrita

For several weeks I walked by this church on the way to and from work, and I found myself staring at it every single time. It's out of place in Zone 4's ramble of two-story concrete block buildings, and it's even out of place among Guatemala's sometimes dramatic church architecture. Bright and whimsical, it's more like a cartoon than a chapel.

Thanks to Peter for reminding me of the church's name.
