Belmopan is the capital city of Belize.

After the destruction caused by the hurricane Hattie in 1961 to Belize City, the capital of that time, it was decided to build a new capital that would be safe from tropical cyclones.

The construction of this city started in the late 1960s and in 1970, the capital was officially shifted from Belize City to Belmopan.

Hence, Belmopan is a planned city that lies across approximately 50 miles and can tolerate seasonal storms as it exists around 250 feet above sea level.
