Comayagua
Comayagua is a beautiful old colonial city that was once the capital of Honduras. Its streets are lined with white churches, red rooftops, and a grand central plaza.
Comayagua is famous for the ancient clock in its cathedral, one of the oldest working clocks in the Americas. Visitors love its colorful festivals and the carpets of flowers people make on the streets at Easter.
The old clock
The cathedral holds a clock made more than eight hundred years ago in Spain, still ticking today. It is one of the oldest clocks in the world that still tells the time.
Flower carpets
During Easter week, people cover the streets with amazing carpets made of colored sawdust and flowers. Walking past these giant artworks is a joyful sight for everyone.
Colonial streets
The city center is easy and safe to explore on foot, with pretty plazas and old buildings. Little museums tell the story of how Honduras began.
