San Miguel, Commercial center in eastern El Salvador.
The city extends at the base of Chaparrastique volcano, with modern municipal buildings and an 18th-century cathedral marking the urban landscape.
Spanish settlers established San Miguel de la Frontera in 1530 as a strategic point for the conquest of the Lenca kingdom of Chaparrastique.
The San Miguel Carnival in November represents the largest festival in El Salvador, with celebrations honoring Nuestra Señora De La Paz.
Roosevelt Avenue forms the main commercial axis of the city, connecting the historic district with contemporary residential neighborhoods.
The city maintains its economic influence through textile production, agricultural trade, and substantial financial support from Salvadorans living abroad.
