Shortly before the Independence of the Kingdom of Guatemala, there was a fairly large plot to the east of the Cathedral, as an abandoned square - old Plazuela de El Sagrario - and a semi-destroyed temple, which served as a chapel of the Sagrario itself, then in building. There was also a cemetery, closed for excess burials, made since the transfer of the Capital to the La Ermita Valley. Dr. Mariano Gálvez conceived the idea of converting that unhygienic square into a market that met public requirements, and for that, as a first providence, he arranged to move the cemetery to the large land called San Juan de Dios. The premature exhumation of newly buried corpses was attributed to the appearance of morbid cholera, so the work had to be paralyzed. In addition, the stubborn opposition of the ecclesiastical authorities had to be overcome, since it was a sacred place and belonged to the Church.

A moment to finish with a Guatemala coffee cup on San Martin the old Pavón House, located on the Paseo de la Sexta and 10 street of the Historic Center, was revitalized to accommodate a new guest: the bakery and the most cozy restaurant of the San Martín chain.
