    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.

    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.
