Managua
Lake Xolotlán city
Managua is the capital and largest city of Nicaragua, situated on the southern shore of Lake Managua.
The city serves as the country's political, economic, and cultural center.
A devastating earthquake in 1972 destroyed much of the downtown area, reshaping its urban landscape into a sprawling, decentralized form unusual for Central American capitals.
