Tegucigalpa, Capital city in central Honduras
Located at an elevation of 975 meters, Tegucigalpa extends across valleys and hills surrounded by mountains in the Francisco Morazán department.
Founded in 1578 as a mining settlement, Tegucigalpa gained its status as the permanent capital of Honduras in 1880 under President Marco Aurelio Soto.
The Metropolitan Cathedral, built in the 18th century, stands in the historic center alongside the National Congress building, reflecting Spanish colonial architectural heritage.
The city operates two international airports, Toncontín and Comayagua, while public transportation consists of an extensive network of buses and taxis.
In 1938, Tegucigalpa merged with neighboring Comayagüela across the Choluteca River to form the Central District, creating a dual-city administrative structure.
