Built-in 1963 with the support of the then-first lady of the nation, Ms. Alejandrina de Villeda Morales, and sampedranos such as Mr. Víctor Manuel Rodriguez. Located in front of the San Vicente de Paul Church, the model of the sphinx is Sergia Durón de Urso, now deceased, and the children are her children.

2

This famous avenue is one of the most important in this city since there are many of the most prestigious hotels, most of the bank branches, and dozens of commercial premises of great relevance in the area.

In the avenue, we can find The Sculpture "El Forjador" that symbolizes the dedication of the Sampedrano people to productive work. It is the highest business award conferred by the Chamber of Commerce and Industries of Cortes since 1995 to distinguished citizens in recognition of their social projection, visionary spirit, and work in favor of private business and the socio-economic development of San Pedro Sula.

In 1921 this boulevard was built, which at that time was the backbone of the city and which promoted development. Most of the standing houses were built under the American and Victorian British bungalow trend.

4

Opening in 1938 and one of the 3 soccer stadiums in this city, it is popularly known as La Bombonerita. It has a capacity of 18,000 spectators. The name of the stadium is due to the fact that it is located on Bulevar Morazán. Before it was only called Morazán in honor of the first team that played on the court where it was built

In front of the stadium, is the World Cup Square, which pays tribute to the World Cup qualifications in Spain 1982, South Africa 2010, and Brazil 2014.

5

Old José Cecilio del Valle school, now a new cultural and artistic district in the city for the realization of open-air concerts, art, and culture.

In front of the building, the sculpture of General Francisco Morazán, glorious paladin carved on Nov. 11, 1927, although it was remodeled in the 50s, it is considered the largest and most determined of the Central American unionists.

6

The City Hall, historical heritage of the city, built-in 1930-1940 but was completed until 1941, when from that year on, longer municipal periods began to be recorded, since before most lasted only one year.

7

It served as a resting place for the troops that fought during the internal wars and in its kiosk some priests were forced to officiate mass while the current cathedral was being built. The kiosk is the only architectural element that the park has conserved since it was built in 1901.

Founded in 1936, its building is in a Latin cross, with vaults that support a central dome, which is surrounded by paintings of the apostles.

The façade is complemented by two bell towers on both sides, the main door facing west and two more doors facing both north and south, for access to the Catholic parishioners, the main altar is embedded with its respective altarpiece in one of the edges. Large windows with Christian figures rise above the main walls of the nave in a cross, giving an enhancement and allowing the light to pass into the cathedral.

9

Inaugurated on June 23, 1853, with an approximate distance of 95 kilometers and 10 stations.

It would be worth for the use of transport of goods, and migrants.
In 2004 passenger trains were canceled, leaving only to transport cargo.

10

In honor of the heroes, it bears the name of the boulevard.

On the boulevard, we will be able to appreciate a unique house, an example of the time, both for its three-level floors and for its style. It is made up of an attractive columnar porch with arches and semicircular windows, where the vents on doors and windows have become true skylights.

Also the sculptures of six heroes:
1. Isabel of Castile
2. José Gerardo Barrios Espinoza
3. Jose Matías Delgado
4. Mariano de Aycinena and Piñol
5. Jose Trinidad Reyes
6. José Francisco Barrundia and Cepeda

Now part of the El Merendón reserve is the trail located in the Sierra del Merendón where visitors arrive for routines of walks, cycling, and exercises in general that can last between 45 minutes to an hour. In addition to the benefit of the sports, for those who complete the ascent, there is the privilege of the best view of the city of San Pedro Sula. It is approximately 2 kilometers long.

The Honduran Brewery installed the Coca-Cola neon sign 10 meters high by 73 meters long, with the aim of putting San Pedro Sula in the Guinness Book as the first city in Latin America to have the largest illuminated Coca sign.
