A
Iglesia Catedral San Pedro
The 1874 Iglesia Catedral San Pedro is considered one of the country's most beautiful buildings. It's a solid neoclassical structure that has simply seen one too many bombing runs. Originally founded by the Jesuits, who were later run out of the country, this fading beauty fronts Parque Morazán, where most of the city's public events take place.

Iglesia San José
Iglesia San José was originally constructed in 1751 and used as a jail for indigenous rebels in the late 1800s, then rebuilt to its current glory in 1917 by Franciscan friars. It fronts Parque Rubén Darío and has a nice baroque altar.
