The city<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Managua is the capital and largest city of Nicaragua. Located on the southwestern shore of Lake Xolotl\u00e1n, also known as Lake Managua, it has a population of 1.5 million in the metropolitan area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1852, the city of Managua becomes capital of Nicaragua, as a compromise between the rival cities of liberal Le\u00f3n and conservative Granada. Managua underwent extensive urbanization, becoming a base of governance, infrastructure and services, until it all came to a sudden halt after it suffered a major earthquake on December 23, 1972, which destroyed 90% of the city’s downtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Civil war and a series of natural disasters further devastated the city and its economy in the 70’s and 80’s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A considerable effort has been made in the last 30 years to revitalize and modernize the city and although it doesn’t have the colonial beauty of Le\u00f3n and Granada, Managua does have some things to offer for the tourist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
