Guatemala City (Spanish: Ciudad de Guatemala), locally known as Guatemala or Guate, formally Ciudad de Guatemala (art. 231 of the Political Constitution of the Republic of Guatemala), is the capital and largest city of Guatemala, and the most populous metropolitan area in Central America. The city is situated in the south-central portion of the country, nestled in a mountain valley named Valle de la Ermita (English: Hermitage Valley). It is projected that its population is about 1 million. Guatemala City is also the capital of the Municipality of Guatemala and of the Guatemala Department.
Guatemala City is the site of the Mayan city of Kaminaljuyu, based around 1500 BC. Following the Spanish conquest, a new city was established, and in 1776 it was made capital of the Kingdom of Guatemala.
