Tegucigalpa Sights

  1. Basílica de Suyapa

    The most important church in Tegucigalpa, and Honduras, is the Gothic Basílica de Suyapa, about 7km south of the city center in the suburb of Suyapa, near UNAH, the national university. La Virgen de Suyapa is the patron saint of Honduras; in 1982 a papal decree made her the patron saint of all Central America. Construction of the basilica, which is famous for its large, brilliant stained-glass windows, began in 1954; finishing touches are still being added though.
