, Colonial administrative region in southwestern Nicaragua

The municipality of Granada extends over 929 square kilometers along Lake Nicaragua, featuring Spanish colonial architecture and tropical landscapes at the base of Mombacho volcano.

Francisco Hernández de Córdoba established Granada in 1523, making it one of the first European settlements in continental America and a vital economic center of colonial Nicaragua.

The San Francisco Convent Museum displays pre-Columbian statues and Cuzco school paintings, representing the mix of indigenous and Spanish colonial artistic traditions.

Granada serves as an industrial hub producing furniture, cottonseed oil, and rum, while maintaining strong connections through the Pacific Railway terminus and major highways.

The municipality includes Las Isletas, an archipelago of 365 small islands in Lake Nicaragua formed by volcanic activity from Mombacho thousands of years ago.
