The Cathedral in Leon is the largest in Central America and was constructed in 1747.
Besides being large and imposing, it is baroque in style.
This picture was taken from the balcony across from the Cathedral. From here, the dictator Samoza spoke to the people. He was assistinated 1 block from here, by one of the heros of the revolution.
The famous Nicaraguan poet Ruben Dario, is buried inside.
