Banco Central de Costa Rica

Reviewed By Susan012014 - Bowser, Canada

On a walking tour of San Jose we stopped and viewed these farmer bronzes which are a representation of the peoples who have built the economy of Costa Rica. The stature (petite) and expressions on the faces of these representations of Tica & Tico people is priceless. Do take time to stop and wonder.

Iglesia de la Merced

Reviewed By Q7840EUdanl - Bunbury, Australia

This church dates to 1894 but construction was not completed until 1907 with the installation of the tower clock. The church has three interior naves under a continuous ogive. The central nave is the highest, fifteen meters, while the aisles are nine meters. Beautiful mosaic floor, stained glass windows, timber ceiling, artwork and a beautiful altar.This church is a real architectural jewel.

Plaza de la Cultura

Downtown's main plaza often hosts celebrations, demonstrations, performances, etc.

Reviewed By jc95photo - Boston, United States

If you are a regular tourist you might be very board here, but if you are a photographer there is a ton of street life to capture. Between the architecture of the buildings, local vendors / street performers, and crazy pigeons a photographer can spend several hours alone taking photos in this area.
