San Bartolomé Milpas Altas is a town and municipality in the Guatemalan department of Sacatepéquez.
History
In the 1540s, bishop Francisco Marroquín split the ecclesiastical administration of the central valley of Guatemala between the Order of Preachers and the Franciscans, assigning Sumpango's curato to the former. In 1638, the Dominicans separated their large doctrines in groups revolving around six convents:
| Convent | Doctrines or curatos | Convent | Doctrines or curatos |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guatemala |
|
Amatitlán | |
| Verapaz | |||
| Sonsonate |
|
||
| San Salvador |
|
Sacapulas |

Ecclesiastic historian Domingo Juarros wrote that in 1754, by virtue of a royal order of the borbon reforms of king Carlos III all curatos and doctrines of the regular clergy were moved on to the secular clergy.
