Casa Presidencial, Managua (must see)

Casa Presidencial is the main office of Nicaragua's president. The Casa Presidencial was opened in 1931 during the presidency of Jose Maria Moncada. Three months later it was partially damaged in an earthquake. In 1934 the Casa Presidencial was restored by General Anastasio Somoza García. It was also used as a house for his sons who were also presidents. In 1972 the building was damaged again due to a powerful earthquake. It was restored and now the current president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, lives here. Ortega is known as the leader of the Sandinista National Liberation Front.
