Why go
The cathedral helps organize a walk through central San José: its facade faces the public park, and its interior adds a quieter dimension to the busy streets. As an active church, it has a role in city life beyond its architecture. A respectful visit makes both aspects visible.
What to look for
- The capital’s main cathedral beside Central Park.
- Its street facade and long role in the civic center.
