Best views across the city. Formerly the site of the American backed Somoza dictators' palace. Now a giant silhouette of national hero Sandino, who was assasinated by the Somozas, stands in its place.
Unique looking cathedral. The small domes on the roof look like a nuclear reactor.
Most ancient evidence of habitation in Central America. A long line of footprints of men, women and children heading out to the lake from some 6000 years ago.
Now home to the National museum which boasts the country's best collection of pre-Hispanic objects.
Beautiful mango lined square with several impressive buildings and monuments.
Elegant ruins of the old 1929 cathedral that was damaged twice in its 43 year history.
Modern concrete cathedral. Replaced the old cathedral which was damaged twice by earthquakes in its 43 year history.
