Discover the small coastal town of Corinto.

Named after the Greek city of Corinth, Corinto is a small port close to the fascinating city of Léon. Centred round the magnificent Cathedral of the Assumption and full of stunning colonial buildings, Léon was the capital of Nicaragua for over two centuries. The original city was established in 1523 at the foot of the Momotombo volcano. When the volcano erupted in 1610, the city was damaged beyond repair and abandoned – Léon was rebuilt in its present location. The ruins of old Léon – Léon Viejo –still exist. Among the buildings that can be identified are the plaza, main street, the cathedral, a fort and a few private homes.

• Corinto is a small coastal town, located on the north-west coast of Nicaragua. Even though Corinto only has a population of approximately 20 000,the town itself is home to one of the biggest harbour ports.

  The town’s name originates from Corinth, a city in Greece, and what Corinto lacks in riches it makes up for in nostalgia and tranquillity. Life passes slowly in this town, an ideal past time is exploring the streets of Corinto which are lined with quaint little shops and lovely church buildings.
