TEGUCIGALPA

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 506 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TEGUCIGALPA , the
capital
  of
Honduras
  and of the depart-merit of Tegucigalpa; situated 3200 ft. above sea-level, on the river Choluteca, and at the head of a railway to the port of San Lorenzo on Fonseca Bay. Pop. (1905) about 35,000. Tegucigalpa is the largest and finest city in the republic. The
majority
  of its houses are of one
storey
 , built round a central court; the windows are usually unglazed but protected by iron bars which project into the narrow cobble-paved streets. The
focus
  of civic life is near the central park, in which stands a bronze equestrian statue of Francisco Morazan (1792-1842), the Hondurian statesman and soldier. Fronting the park is a domed.
cathedral
 , one of the largest and most ornate churches in
Honduras
 . Other noteworthy buildings are the government offices, university, school of industry and art, national printing works, and law courts. A lofty ten-arched
bridge
  over the Choluteca connects the city with its
principal
  suburb, Concepcion or Comayaguela. Tegucigalpa became
capital
  of Honduras, a status it had previously shared with Comayagua, in 1880. During the 18th century the neighbourhood was famous for its gold, silver and
marble
 , but in modern times the mines and quarries have greatly declined in value, and farming is the
chief
  local industry. In 1907 Tegucigalpa was occupied by the Nicaraguan invaders.
