==== After the capital moved to La Ermita ==== [[File:1887 Guatemala 1C Yv44.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|left|Postmark ANTIGUA CANCELADO in 1887, after Guatemala joined the UPU. Note the Quetzal.]] After the independence of Guatemala from Spain in 1821, the Jesuit complex became public property once again and was in several lawsuits that lasted until 1829, when the [[regular clergy]] and the conservative [[Juan José de Aycinena y Piñol|Aycinena clan]] were expelled from Central America after the invasion of liberal general [[Francisco Morazán]] and the establishment of a secular government.{{sfn|González Davison|2008|p=4-15}} The new liberal government decreed that all the confiscated Catholic church possessions had to be turned into elementary schools and university classrooms.<ref name=Roca-deLeon-2008/>{{rp|11}} As of 1850, Antigua had an estimated population of 9,000.{{sfn|Baily|1850|p=78}} and by 1865, the building was functioning as a vapor activated thread mill, but it was not profitable due to a lack of expert technicians and raw material; and by 1872, the Jesuits were once again expelled from Guatemala by the liberal regime of [[Justo Rufino Barrios]].{{sfn|Hernández de León|1928|p=}} In 1884 City Hall made an announcement that it intended to transform the old Society of Jesus buildings into a market, in spite of the strong opposition from the neighbors that already had small shops on the plaza. It was not until 1912 that a market was placed in the complex.<ref name=Roca-deLeon-2008/>{{rp|11}}
