Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción

The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption features a rectangular plan with substantial protective walls and two rows of Tuscan columns supporting the roof structure.

Construction of this religious structure began in 1570 under Dominican priest Juan de Manzanillo, making it one of the oldest churches in Central America.

The cathedral serves as the episcopal seat of the Diocese of Juigalpa and holds special celebrations during the August festival honoring the Assumption of Virgin Mary.

Visitors can attend services from early morning until evening throughout the week, with extended hours on Thursdays and Saturdays until 21:00.

The left lateral tower, dating from 1599, stands as the oldest tower structure in Nicaragua and displays Renaissance architectural elements in its entrance portal.
