Route of the Franciscan Evangelisation is part of the Tentative list of Guatemala in order to qualify for inclusion in the World Heritage List.

The Route of the Franciscan Evangelisation comprises 26 churches and related religious monuments from the Spanish colonial era. They were built by the Franciscan Order, who had come to convert the local population. The churches show great stylistic unity and all harbour many works of art. The included buildings are not named, but likely include the Iglesia de San Francisco in Antigua Guatemala and the La Recolección Architectural Complex.
