Granada Department

Granada Department spans 1,040 square kilometers of territory and contains four municipalities: Diriá, Diriomo, Granada, and Nandaime, with Granada city as its capital.

The department gained its administrative status following Nicaragua's territorial reorganization in the 19th century, becoming a central region for agricultural development and trade.

The department maintains traditional festivals throughout its municipalities, where residents prepare local dishes such as Nacatamales and Vigorón during community gatherings.

The department connects to Managua through the main NIC-4 highway, while regional roads link its four municipalities for efficient transportation of goods and residents.

The territory includes sections of Lake Nicaragua's shoreline and volcanic formations, creating a landscape that combines water resources with elevated terrains.
