    This was the only building in San Jose that exuded any type of historical relevance. And even that is a facade. The Post Office was built in 1917--far later than the style would suggest. The ajoining plaza is shaded by massive fig trees and was the most attractive pedestrian wayfare that we saw.

    Correo Central - Post Office: Post Office Building
    Built in the influence of French architecture, the Post Office Building is one of San Jose's most beautiful buildings. It is a warm light green color. The building now hosts a tourist center and a tourist museum that shows tourists the history of Costa Rica.
