The nuns of the monastery used to be able to use this round arch to cross the street unseen

One of Antigua's landmarks is the convent of Santa Catalina Virgen y Martir, founded in 1609 by four Conception nuns. The arch, restored in 1833, still spans the 5th Avenida Norte, which allowed the nuns to cross the street without being seen. (Travel Guide Reise Know How Guatemala)
