===Plaza de la Revolución===
''Plaza de la Revolución'' (Revolution Square), formerly known as ''Plaza de la República'' (Republic Square) is home to Managua's historic center, located on the shores of [[Lake Xolotlan]]. The plaza has been partially rebuilt and many old buildings have been refurbished. Some of the more important buildings which managed to survive the [[1972 Nicaragua earthquake]] include the ''Catedral de Santiago'' (St. James' Cathedral, known colloquially as the Old Cathedral), the Rubén Darío National Theatre, and the National Palace of Culture.<ref>{{cite news |    title=Managua's historical center |  url =http://www.vianica.com/activity/33/managuas-historical-center |work=ViaNica |  access-date = 2007-08-19 }}</ref>

Within the Revolution Square is the ''Parque Central'' (Central Park) which contains many historical monuments, some dedicated to national heroes and poets. Some of these include a centrally located [[Art Deco]] gazebo crowned with a white-washed naked [[muse]], which happens to have superb acoustics. There is also the bust of Professor Josefa Toledo de Aguerri, who was an educator, philanthropist, writer, social activist, and one of the first feminists in the Americas. Also, the tomb of [[Carlos Fonseca]], founder of the [[FSLN]], which is guarded by an [[eternal flame]]. Across from the Central Park, on the north side, is the [[Rubén Darío]] park and monument, dedicated to Nicaragua's greatest poet and one of the most influential literary figures of the Spanish-speaking world. It is a [[Neoclassical architecture|neo-classical]] monument which consists of a round pedestal, topped by a [[balustrade]] surrounding a fountain containing a gondola filled with singing [[cherub]]s, and at the center, a pillar topped with a statue of Darío dressed in a Roman tunic protected by an angel. Constructed of [[Carrara marble]], Darío's monument is one of the greatest in the country. There is also a park dedicated to the Guatemalan writer [[Miguel Ángel Asturias]]. Other monuments include the monument of ''El Guerrillero sin Nombre'' (The Nameless Guerrilla Soldier) and ''Monumento à la Paz'' (Monument for Peace).<ref name="LTM">{{cite news|title=La Laguna de Tiscapa |publisher=Moon.com |url=http://www.moon.com/planner/nicaragua/mustsees/lalagunadetiscapa.html |work=Moon Handbook: Nicaragua |access-date=2007-08-20 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070922191756/http://www.moon.com/planner/nicaragua/mustsees/lalagunadetiscapa.html |archive-date=2007-09-22 }}</ref>
