Foundation: the community was established at the end of 1500, and its temple was built 200 years later. The land where the town was installed was owned by Diego de Vivar, a devotee of San Gaspar, and whose religiosity made him grant his patrimony. (Antigüeña Village Honors A Wise Man, 2010)

Church: the temple of San Gaspar is of baroque style, with similarity to the facade of the church of La Merced, in Antigua Guatemala.

Curious facts: The name of the village comes from the devotion to St. Gaspar, one of the Magi.

The village is home to the Albergue Hermano Pedro, dedicated to serving the needs of mentally and physically challenged children. (Albergue Hermano Pedro – Obras Sociales Del Hermano Pedro, 2022)

Handicrafts: The majority of the population is dedicated to agricultural and commercial activities, and trade is done directly with the municipal capital. (Emilsa & Castillo, n.d.)
