León is the second largest city in Nicaragua, located in the west of the country, about 90 kilometers from the capital, Managua. As the capital of the Department of León, this old colonial city is known for its rich cultural heritage and academic atmosphere, and is home to one of the oldest universities in Central America, the University of León (founded in 1813).
Long the capital of Nicaragua (until 1855), León retains a great deal of Spanish colonial architecture, symbolized by the Cathedral of León (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), a blend of Baroque and Neoclassical styles, with a roof overlooking a volcanic complex. The poet Rubén Darío is buried here, giving the city the title "Capital of Literature".
The city is close to the Pacific coast, surrounded by active volcanoes such as Momotombo, and the black sand beaches and the surfing resort of Las Penitas are only 20 kilometers away. The tropical savanna climate allows for distinct wet and dry seasons, with an average annual temperature of around 28°C. The city's economy and contemporary life are characterized by a high level of economic activity.
León's traditional industries, such as sugar and leather, have seen a boom in eco-tourism in recent years. Revolutionary murals can be found throughout the region, and the politically active area is an important window into modern Nicaraguan history.
