    A big gray church. Drab on the outside. Drabber on the inside. The cathderal is directly across from Parque Central and as we visited on Christmas Eve afternoon we were assaulted by dischordant Central American hip hop music by means of huge speakers placed in all corners of the park. It was not to be an afternoon for silent contemplation of the nativity.

    Pope Juan Pablo II visited the Cathedral in 1983.

    This church is a classic Costa Rican building. It is a solid stone building with Salomonic columns. The building has endured earthquakes and storms because of its great construction.
