Santa Lucía Milpas Altas (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈsanta luˈsi.a ˈmilpas ˈaltas]) is a town and municipality in the Guatemalan department of Sacatepéquez.

[2] 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.

[3] In 1638, the Dominicans separated their large doctrines in groups revolving around six convents: 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.

[5] Santa Lucía Milpas Altas has a subtropical highland climate (Köppen climate classification: Cwb).
