Congreso de la República de Guatemala

The Congress of the Republic of Guatemala meets in a complex of buildings in the historic centre of Guatemala City, a short distance from the national palace and central plaza. The legislative chamber and its supporting offices occupy structures that reflect the mid-twentieth-century rebuilding of the capital after earthquakes reshaped the city. The single-chamber assembly gathers deputies from across the country's departments, forming part of the civic heart of the nation near the cathedrals and ministries.
