FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS Y TECNOLOGIA UNAN-LEÓN

An interesting fresco was produced in 1996 at the premises of the Faculty of Science, opposite the church of La Merced. She celebrates the crucial role played by education and literature in the fight against ignorance and expresses the student revolt against a government that prefers certain private interests to the collective development of a harmonious society. The University of Leon is the oldest in Nicaragua, the second founded in Central America (after that of San Carlos in Guatemala) and the latter in the Spanish colonization of Latin America.
