León Cathedral, Nicaragua

LEON CATHEDRAL (León, Nicaragua)

Properly "The Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary," this significant historic landmark in León, Nicaragua, was built between 1747 and 1814 and consecrated in 1860. It is the largest Catholic cathedral in Central America; the crypts below hold the remains of 27 people, including, in addition to clergy, three poets, a musician, seven "notables," and a slave.
