Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception

The Immaculate Conception Cathedral is located in Managua. This cathedral was built in honor of the virgin conception of Mary. Construction of this magnificent architectural structure began in 1991. Until this point, the old Santiago Cathedral was located on this site, but in 1972 it was significantly damaged by an earthquake that destroyed more than 90% of the city.

Two years later, on September 4, 1993, the cathedral was opened. The cathedral became quite a serious structure in architecture, and its construction was spent more than $ 4.5 million, because the walls were specially fortified with reinforced concrete slats to protect against earthquakes.

The splendor of the huge number of domes that adorn the Cathedral cannot but attract the attention of visitors and ordinary tourists. Even the locals dubbed the cathedral an interesting name La Chichona.

Inside the main chapel you can approach the revered image of Sangre-de-Cristo. Its shape and illumination by candlelight are simply breathtaking and immediately there is a desire to think deeply about the spiritual life.

On the floor in the chapel is a cement floor of indescribable beauty, on which a colored carpet of geometric shapes is located. A huge and massive wooden doors only decorate the spiritual interior.
