The Old Cathedral of Managua, known as the Catedral de Santiago, is a neoclassical cathedral in Managua, Nicaragua. Designed by Belgian architects and said to draw inspiration from Paris's Saint-Sulpice, it was built from 1928 to 1938 under Belgian engineer Pablo Dambach, with its iron framing shipped from Belgium. Heavily damaged in the 1972 earthquake, it was condemned but not demolished.
