El Zapote Barracks Military Museum

El Zapote Barracks: Civil War History & The Popemobile

Skip the dry historical exhibits and head straight for the eccentric collection, including the original popemobile used by John Paul II during his 1983 visit. You get an unfiltered look at El Salvador's military past through authentic gear and weaponry displayed in old barracks. Spend about an hour here; the military guides offer a unique perspective you won't find in textbooks. Go early on a weekday to avoid school groups and really see the hardware.
