Santa Rosa (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈsanta ˈrosa]) is a department in Guatemala. The capital is Cuilapa.
On Saturday 8 March 1913, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake hit Santa Rosa, destroying its department capital, Cuilapa.[2] Both the initial quake and the after shocks destroyed a lot of private homes, and also the cathedral and the prison, leaving behind significant human losses; similar destruction occurred at Barberena, Cerro Redondo, Llano Grande and El Zapote.[2] Fraijanes, Pueblo Nuevo Viñas, Coatepeque and Jalpatagua were also affected.[2] Around Cuilapa, there were landslides and road blockades, and even a long crack was reported at Los Esclavos hill.[2]
