Door knockers in Guatemala

There are really beautiful door knockers in Antigua, Guatemala. Here are photos of doorknockers around the city. For more on my travels in Guatemala visit my travel blog at www.ladythetramp.com

Shiny bronze hand of fatima door knocker. I think this is a Moorish influence coming from the SPanish. These hand of fatima door knockers are also popular in Morocco and the Muslim world.
