Lonely Planet review

San Salvador has two major universities and a number of smaller ones. Travelers are most likely to have heard of Universidad Centroamericana José Simeon Cañas, whose campus and students figured prominently in the civil war. At UCA, pronounced oo -ka, the Centro Monseñor Romero commemorates the assassinated archbishop and other fallen religious workers, including six Jesuit priests who were murdered at the center itself in 1989.
