Honduras' oldest city (founded in 1525) is located on the Caribbean coast, on a bluff overlooking one of the most beautiful bays in the Americas, Laguna Guaymoreto. The city's rich history is visible in its architectural variety—Spanish, French and English colonial structures. The Fort of Santa Barbara, built in the 1600s, is the highlight. 150 mi/240 km northeast of Tegucigalpa.
