Some just over an hour north of capital Tegucigalpa, on the highway to San Pedro Sula, this city of around 152,000, was founded in 1537 known for Honduras' best preserved wealth of Spanish colonial architecture, including an early-18th-century cathedral with Central America's oldest clock - originally built in the Muslim-ruled part of Iberia around 1100.
