La Loma, Presidential palace on Tiscapa Hill, Managua, Nicaragua.
The Presidential Palace La Loma stands on Tiscapa Hill with Spanish architectural features including bifora windows and horseshoe arches designed by Italian architect Mario Favilli.
The structure opened in January 1931 under President Jose Maria Moncada, sustained damage in a March 1931 earthquake, and was completely destroyed by the 1972 earthquake.
The palace served as the center of Nicaraguan political power, hosting military parades and diplomatic ceremonies until its demolition in the early 1970s.
The former palace grounds are now part of Tiscapa Historical Park, with only 20 percent of the hill area accessible to visitors.
The basement levels of La Loma contained underground chambers that the National Guard used for interrogations during the Somoza regime.
