Yuscarán
Yuscarán is a town in Honduras, the capital of the El Paraíso department. It is located 65 kilometers from Tegucigalpa.
==History==
The municipality of Yuscarán was founded in 1730. After gold, silver and other precious metals were found in its foothills in 1746, Spanish mining companies flooded the area and Spaniards settled the town. Thus, Yuscarán was constructed in the traditional colonial style of 18th century Spain.
Years of exploitation by the Spanish and later by North American mining companies followed, bringing both advantages and disadvantages. At its height, Yuscarán was a wealthy mining town and home to some of Honduras’s most influential families. It was one of the first places in Honduras to get electricity in 1898- even before Tegucigalpa. Because of its importance, it was declared the capital of the El Paraíso Department in 1869. However, after the mining stopped, most of the foreigners supporting Yuscarán abandoned the town, taking their money and possessions with them.
In 1979 Yuscarán was declared a National Monument. In its center there are more than 200 colonial homes.
