Located in northwest Honduras, it is the country's second largest city and has Puerto Cortes as its outer port. It has a population of 368,500 (1994). It was founded in 1536, but no historical buildings remain. Today, it is a center for the cultivation of bananas, sugar cane, etc., and industrial activity is also thriving. Foreigners such as Arabs, North Americans, Germans, and Jews are the driving forces behind commerce. It is one of the fastest growing cities in Latin America.
