The territorial extension of El Salvador is a fact that often we need for homework questions or simply curiosity to know what vast is our country, which by the way is the smallest in Central America. Such extension is measured in square kilometers.
The territorial extension of El Salvador is of 20,742 square kilometres; but to this we must add to it another 320 square kilometers (200 nautical miles) of coast and beaches on the Pacific Ocean, which is known as the maritime space of El Salvador.
This topic is also worth mentioning the territories known as ex-bolsones, which were an area of 440 square kilometers disputed for more than 100 years between El Salvador and Honduras, which finally resolved the International Court of Justice on 11 September 1992, winning 150 square kilometers to El Salvador and 290 km2 to Honduras.
