It is an aa the caipital ceety o the local [[Guatemala Depairtment]] an the lairgest ceety in Central Americae.

The ceety is locatit at {{Coord|14|38|N|90|33|W|}}, in a muntain valley cawed [[Valle de la Ermita]] in the sooth central pairt o the kintra.

== History ==
Athin the confines o modren Guatemala Ceety is the auncient Maya ceety o [[Kaminaljuyu]]. Kaminaljuyu wis first occupied atween 1200 an 1000 BC an the ceety continued tae be inhabitit for aboot 2000 years afore it wis abandoned in the Late Classic Period o [[Mesoamerican chronology]] (600&ndash;900 AD).<ref>Sharer & Traxler 2006, pp.194-195.</ref> It is ane of Americae's maist notable archaeological steids. The centre o Kaminaljuyu wis locatit a short distance frae the auldest pairt o Guatemala Ceety. Housomeivver, in the late 20t century, the ceety grew aroond the ruins, an, in some cases, ower some o the ootlyin ruins afore thay wur protectit.

Mony o the several hunder temple mounds hae been biggit ower wi freeways, shoppin centres, commerce, luxury hotels an residential auries. The central ceremonial centre o Kaminaljuyu wis housomeivver protectit bi the Guatemalan govrenment an is nou a pairk athin the ceety. Thare are an aa mony ruins still in existence, protectit bi the govrenment.

In Spainyie colonial times, Guatemala Ceety wis a sma toun. It haed a monastery cawed ''El Carmen'', foondit in 1629. The caipital o the Spainyie [[Captaincy General o Guatemala]], coverin maist o modren [[Central Americae]], wis muived here efter a series o earthquakes - the [[Santa Marta earthquake]]s that stairtit on 29 Julie 1773 - destroyed the auld caipital, [[Antigua Guatemala]].<ref>{{cite web|author=José Omar Moncada Maya |url=http://www.ub.es/geocrit/b3w-444.htm |title=En torno a la destrucción de la ciudad de Guatemala, 1773. Una carta del ingeniero militar Antonio Marín |publisher=Ub.es |date= |accessdate=2009-07-08}}</ref> On 27 September 1775, [[Keeng]] [[Charles III o Spain]] officialised the muivin o the caipital. This dramatically increased the potential for expansion o the ceety.

Guatemala Ceety wis the scene o the declaration o unthirldom o Central Americae frae Spain, an became the caipital o the [[Federal Republic o Central Americae]] in 1821.
