Watch an earthquake

Text and photo: Special Envoy Danai Galette / Managua The old cathedral of Managua preserves the moment when one of the most devastating events occurred in the capital of Nicaragua: the earthquake of December 23, 1972.

The natural event swept through the city and left practically nothing, according to local historian Clemente Guido, even though the church’s bell tower clock marks 12:35 on that fateful early morning.

Also known as the CatedralMetropolitana de Santiago Apóstol, the building is distinguished by its neoclassical style and impressive structure, with cracks and some missing windows, and looks like the Church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris, France.

Such an earthquake, which registered 6.2 on the Richter scale, “left the city on its knees, but it was not defeated.” Unfortunately, Guido told Orbe, the ambition of dictator Anastazio Somoza DePale stopped the rebuilding of the Heritage Department, the emblematic buildings and spaces that were part of his identity.

Somoza issued a siege of 500 blocks, fenced in with barbed wire and confiscated all property there, purporting to restore them in an orderly fashion. He only caused neglect during his term (second from 1974 to 1979), and he is also the Director of Culture and Historical Heritage in the Managua Mayor’s Office.

This year saw the victory of the Sandinista Revolution and the new representatives of the popular will in power tried, “with great hope”, to renovate the capital but had to face a counter-revolutionary war in the 1980s funded by the United States.

The real recovery of the capital began fifteen years ago, the date on which President Daniel Ortega returned to power, according to the expert. He highlighted, “I now call it the City of Light because it used to live in the shadows.” Image caption: Managua has a different appearance.
