The name 'Nicaragua' seems to have meant
'surrounded by water' in an older, indigenous
language that mixed with Spanish. This could be
either because of the two large freshwater lakes,
Lake Nicaragua and Lake Managua, or because the
country is bounded on the east and the west by
oceans. Nicaragua is also the least densely
populated with a demographic similar in size to
its smaller neighbors. The country is bordered by
Honduras to the north and by Costa Rica to the
south. The Pacific Ocean lies to the west of the
country, while the Caribbean Sea lies to the
east.

This is the old cathedral and the newer in
Managua. The old cathedral was designed in 1920
and the new was completed in 1993 to replace the
old when it was damaged in the 1972 earthquake.
The new cathedral has caused some controversy for
its modern design.
