Plaza de la Democracia y de la Abolición del Ejército

It's a nice historical place where you can stop to take some breath while strolling by the city. The National Museum and the Museum of Jade are located at the same square.
From there you can go to Parque Nacional or Teatro Nacional in less than 10 minutes walk.

Profoundly rich history of demilitarization. A must see for everyone

Great Museum full of history. The building is also very beautiful.

A good place to come in the afternoons and enjoy the nice breeze. It's also closed by the National Museum of Costa Rica.

The complimentary breakfast is NOT a continental breakfast! You can get omelets made to order, plantains, rice and beans, sausage, bacon/ham, an array of breads, banana pancakes, fruit, cheese, mimosas. I am sure I am missing something. It is awesome!

Good jumpstart to city walking tour

This is a historic place in San Jose downtown. It was the last army facility in Costa Rica before army abolition. Is like a big square where you can find handcrafts, a nice view, public benches and kids running around.

A great look yo the past 😍

Many years without visiting this place. It has nice adaptations for handicapped persons. Love this place that speaks to its visitors with so many historical and cultural items.

The history of San Jose is very cool. As a country they accomplished so much without violence. And they continue to do so.

There's plenty of sitting space, some in the shade some in the sun, it's pretty and there's two museums just crossing the street.

Visiting this was a treat. Make sure you take your time and enjoy the experiences.

One of the political and cultural centers os San José, sourounded by museums, the Congress and restaurants. One of the milestones of the city.

Nice little park between the artisan dealers and the National Museum. Great spot to hang out with some friends and shoot the breeze.

Important historical site..If you visit this area just do not go flashing money and avoid giving money to beggars around there ..Common sense has to be used..

One of many leafy parks in the capital city representing an often missing aspect of self government in authoritarian regional regimes.

Nice place to walk in san Jose if u want to see some local culture..close to the national museum and the main market

It beautiful, when i went in there all i can do is give them respect.

Part of the National Museum

Commemorative plaza for a crucial point in CR history. Nice place to sit in the shade and people watch.
