Damn I thought Israel was bigger than that, my geography book must have had a lot of zoom in the Middle Eastern area.

San Pedro Sula is a "new" city, but it was designed as any other spanish/colonial town, were the central plaza is built in front of the cathedral. This cathedral is one of the most recent built cathedrals in America (1950) since the older one was burnt "accidentally".

"Los Dolores" (Griefs) Church, Tegucigalpa
Los Dolores Church is located in the historical dowtown of Tegucigalpa, the capital city of Honduras.


http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7202/losdolores2fachada2008gp1.jpg


This church is "unique" because it is oriented from north to south, unlike the other spanish/colonial churches wich are oriented from east to west. Some say this is oriented like this because this church was for the poor people, while the cathedral (4 blocks away) was for the rich and famous.
The other peculiarity of this church is that it has a black dome and strange figures (http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/5541/honduras66.jpg) on the facade. (There's a cock (chicken :lol:), a sun, a heart, etc)
