Loma de Tiscapa, Summit and volcanic crater in Managua, Nicaragua.
The Loma de Tiscapa rises 150 meters above sea level, featuring a crater lake and offering panoramic views of Managua and Volcán Momotombo.
The site housed Nicaragua's presidential palace until 1934, when revolutionary leader Augusto C. Sandino was executed after signing a peace agreement.
The National Historical Park displays military artifacts, including an Italian tank given to former dictator Anastasio Somoza García by Benito Mussolini.
Visitors can begin their exploration from the Crowne Plaza hotel, following marked paths that lead to the summit monument and observation points.
The former volcanic crater contains a lake that provides a natural mirror effect, reflecting the surrounding landscape and Sandino's silhouette monument.
