Metropolitan Church (Catedral Metropolitana), San Jose, Costa Rica In 1813, the Spanish Courts gave San José the title of city and, as such, required a temple that would honor the Catholic faith. This was the reason why it was decided to build the current metropolitan cathedral. The construction of this first temple began in 1825 under the supervision of Eusebio Rodríguez, who had designed a longer and wider temple with masonry walls. The church was inaugurated in 1827 and received the title of cathedral in 1850, when Monsignor Anselmo Llorente y La Fuente was appointed the first bishop of Costa Rica.

Several important institutions and organizations are located within or adjacent to the park.
La Sabana Metropolitan Park was officially inaugurated in 1977, though its origins go back two centuries. Manuel Antonio Chapuí, the parish priest of San José at the end of the 17th century, donated several plots of land in the Mata Redonda District "in order to favour Costa Rica's interests". Since that time, the area has been used for recreation and sports activities.

Luis was a fantastic guide! We learned so much about the culture and history of Costa Rica. The length of the tour was perfect, and we really enjoyed lunch at a local restaurant with authentic food. Luis was patient and very knowledgeable. The museums were gorgeous. Exploring San Jose was a real treat!
