Comayagua Honduras General Information
Comayagua Facts
The original capital of Honduras and pre-Columbian center is noted for its older churches. The Cathedral of Comayagua, built in the 18th century, San Sebastian Church, from the 16th century, and Church of San Francisco, which proudly displays the oldest church bells in all of America, built in 1820. Two museums in Comayagua stand out, the Museum of Colonial Religious Art and the Archaeological Museum of Comayagua. The museum Colonial was used as the headquarters for the government in the 19th century. It contains many exhibitions of Spanish, pre-Columbian and the colonial times. There are also archeological ruins nearby in Tenampua.
Comayagua is located in the mountains, and is generally cooler than most of the other cities in Honduras. Many American retirees and expats live there, and the city hosts the US Soto Cano Airforce Base, as well as the Honduras Air Force Base of Palmerola. It has been a long time favorite choice for the home of a new International airport to replace Toncontin airport in Tegucigalpa, due to the dangers presented, in particular, for large aircraft.
