"The Republican period witnessed great architectural changes, starting with an architecture of neoclassical and historicist influence from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, up to the revolutionary Modern Architecture or International Style of iron, glass and armored concrete, a historical moment in which the participation of architecture professionals, considered pioneers in their field, emerged.
The convents of Tegucigalpa, La Merced and San Francisco, were in total abandonment because the regulars had been expelled. Thus we can also see that by 1823 the church of La Merced was rebuilt in Comayagua, which had been practically in ruins since the 1804 earthquake, a reconstruction in which liberal artisans of the stature of Don Coronado Chavez participated.
Now, we can affirm that there is a lot of architectural production throughout the country, especially at the head of the municipalities where many constructions of churches are built, with details in their simple facades, of a single floor, to two waters, with semicircular arch doors; some with square windows and others with semicircular windows, with one or two side towers, some with domes, others not, and so on. It can be assured that these are constructions from the second half of the 19th century.
