Comayagua is a municipality and a city in the Republic of Honduras, head of the department of Comayagua. Former capital of the country and current capital of the homonymous department located in the valley also of the same name, located in the central region of Honduras.
Founded in 1537 by the Spanish captain general Alonso de Cáceres under the name "Villa de Santa María de la Nueva Valladolid de Comayagua", the city has been an important religious and political center of Honduras and Central America. During the Spanish colonial era, Comayagua was the capital of the municipality of Comayagua and later of the province of Comayagua. After the independence of Honduras, it was the state capital from 1825 until 1880 when President Marco Aurelio Soto moved the country's capital to the city of Tegucigalpa.
The city's colonial past during the New Spain era is evident in several of its ancient churches, the impressive Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, colonial plazas, museums, as well as republican civil architecture in keeping with its historical development. Due to this heritage, #Comayagua is considered one of the wonders of Honduras and has become a national and international destination for tourism. During the Holy Week season, in particular, the city becomes the religious tourism capital of Honduras.
Since the middle of the 20th century, the city has experienced accelerated growth that led the municipal authorities to structure a territorial reorganization plan. Between the years of 1945-1975, the city's population quadrupled due to the high population growth rate reached at that time (4.8%) and due to migratory movements within the country.
