Sights in San Ramón

  1. Museo de San Ramón

    On the north side of the park, this museum maintains a few simple exhibits devoted to detailing life in Costa Rica during the colony and the early republic. Towards the back, a gallery shows rotating art exhibits.

  2. Parque Central

    In front of the church is the Parque Central, which is surrounded by a few low-lying colonial-style buildings and is studded with several torii, the traditional Japanese gates found at the entrance to a Shinto shrine. (Go figure.) The best time to visit is on Saturdays during the farmers’ market, when all manner of cheeses and chorizo are on display and the local ladies can be found shopping and gossiping.

  3. Iglesia de San Ramón

    At the center of this charming agricultural town, you’ll see the twin spires of the ash-gray Iglesia de San Ramón. The interiors are definitely worth checking out: it has a lovely baroque-style altar, Spanish-tile floors and neat rows of wood pews.
