What's notable about this church is that it was destroyed by Somoza's military bombing of Leon during the 1979 Sandinista revolution. Leon was the center of the Sandinista movement, the group who fought against the US-supported Somoza dictatorship.
There is a new Iglesia San Sebastian pictured below that has been rebuilt next door, but it isn't nearly as nice looking as what the old church must have been.

Strangely enough, the grown-over church ruins are kind of beautiful in themselves.
