Orosi's Colonial Church
and Religious Craft Museum
The Orosi Church holds tremendous cultural
importance for our country. It was built in the 18th century
by the Franciscans Padres, and it is a symbol of the colonial
time in Costa Rica. In addition, it is the oldest standing
church in Costa Rica.
The Southeast side of the temple is constructed
in an "L" shape that served as a convent and is
a museum today. The thick adobe walls and the simplicity of
the architectural line give to the temple a humble and comfortable
aspect. |
