A
Iglesia Los Dolores
Iglesia Los Dolores, northwest of the cathedral, is worth a visit, with a plaza out front and religious art inside. On the front of Los Dolores are figures representing the Passion of Christ - his unseamed cloak, the cock that crowed three times - all crowned by the more indigenous symbol of the sun.

Iglesia La Merced
An 18th-century church, Iglesia La Merced, faces Parque La Merced. In 1847, the convent of La Merced was converted to house Honduras' first university; the national gallery was established there in 1996. The well-restored building is itself a work of art, and is as impressive as the paintings inside.

C
Iglesia El Calvario
West of the cathedral is Parque Herrera, which seems to attract a somewhat less savory crowd, but the 18th-century Iglesia El Calvario is worth a peek, as is the Teatro Nacional Manuel Bonilla, if it happens to be open when you pass by.
