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 - built in the Muslim-ruled part of Spain around 1100. There are also a couple of worthwhile museums here, of religious art and archaeology.
