Catedral Metropolitana

Just north of the Metrocentro mall is an unforgettable
Managua landmark and the hemisphere's newest cathedral, an architectural marvel that
leaves most visitors, well, scratching their heads. It's not a mosque, really: the 63 cupolas
(or breasts, or eggs; speculation continues) symbolize Nicaragua's 63 Catholic churches,
and also provide structural support during earthquakes - a good thing, since it sits astride
a fault line.
