San Salvador is the capital and main urban center of the Republic of El Salvador . The city is located in the Valley of the Hammocks (so called due to the frequent seismic activity in its area) specifically in the department of San Salvador, it houses the headquarters of the powers that govern the country's politics, the main economic companies, development, telecommunications, embassies, hotels, Presidential House of El Salvador , the main museums of the country, residential and commercial areas, monuments and the main seats of government, economic, political, fashion, art and development centers of the Republic.

San Salvador is the largest urban center in El Salvador, considering its municipal district within San Salvador Centro along with Mejicanos , Cuscatancingo , Ayutuxtepeque and Ciudad Delgado , and its extensive metropolitan area from the economic, demographic, social, cultural, historical, industrial and political. The city is also considered the second most densely populated city and with the most accelerated economic development in the Central American region only behind Guatemala City and if Panama City is excluded , it constitutes an important city in the so-called " Northern Triangle of Central America." » and one of the main settlements with strong industrial and economic development, being the center of national and international financial and social services companies in the country.

The first foundation of San Salvador took place in 1525, probably in Old Cuscatlán. It was refounded in 1528 south of Suchitoto, but its population would not settle in its current location until 1545. It was an important commercial center during the Spanish colonization due to indigo agriculture and became the headquarters of the Mayor's Office , the Municipality and the Province of the territory that, for the most part, today makes up El Salvador.

The first two uprisings of the isthmus against the authorities of the Spanish crown occurred in San Salvador around 1811. Later, it maintained its autonomy during the annexation to the First Mexican Empire , which it briefly joined by force. After Guatemala City served as capital of the Federal Republic of Central America between 1824 and 1834, in addition to a brief period in which it was Sonsonate, San Salvador took over during the period 1834 and 1840, for which it was created. a Federal District that included San Salvador and several municipalities on the periphery.

With the development of coffee agriculture , the city had a notable development in its infrastructure since the end of the 19th century . However, because it is located in a highly seismic area, it has suffered from earthquakes throughout its history. Only photographs, portraits or plans of its old colonial buildings remain, such as its old cathedral and aqueduct. The earthquake of 1873, for example, caused San Salvador to be rebuilt with wooden or iron buildings imported entirely from Belgium and Italian die-cut sheets , such as those of the churches of San Francisco and Sagrado Corazón, as well as the Rosales Hospital, among others.

San Salvador is one of the first Spanish-founded cities in historic Central America, the region that during the Hispanic colonization of America constituted the Kingdom or Captaincy General of Guatemala . It is also the oldest and longest lasting capital in the aforementioned region, since, since its transfer in 1545 to the Valley of Hammocks, it has remained there from that year to the present. Also, because since the Spanish Monarchy designated it as the administrative headquarters of the San Salvador province in 1540, it remained that way until it was established as the capital of the Salvadoran State. Despite the earthquakes, floods and eruptions that this town had to endure for centuries, it was always rebuilt on its original site. Despite some attempts to move to less seismic areas, San Salvador has established itself as the main city of El Salvador.
