During its heyday at the end of the Preclassic mesoamerican period was a popular trade center, especially for precious commodities.

A prehistoric-type theme park/water park, for when you want to bring out your inner dinosaur, or when the kids need a break from seeing churches. It does have a lot of concrete dinosaurs.
This is a nice Jesus statue overlooking the valley. Maybe not quite as nice as the one in Tegucigalpa, but it still offers a great vantage point.
Church of Mercy
This is the oldest church in Honduras, built in 1550 by Fray Gaspar de Quintanilla. It was actually called the Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción until the present one was built in 1711. Located in the colonial old town, it was designated a cathedral in 1561 and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It displays Baroque and Renaissance Colonial architecture and has withstood earthquakes. Adjacent to the church is the Plaza Merced with the Monument to the Constitution of 1812.
