The Valley of Guatemala is the territory in the country of Guatemala surrounding the historic city of Antigua Guatemala,[1] the old capital of the Kingdom of Guatemala.

This territory contained the city of Santiago de los Caballeros, 2 large towns and 73 villages.[2] In the immediate surrounding area, three of the most notable Guatemalan volcanos are present, namely: Acatenango, Agua[3] (water), and Fuego (fire).[1]
