Juan Santamaría Museum

Fodor's Review:

Juan Santamaría's heroic deeds are celebrated in the Juan Santamaría Museum (Museo Juan Santamaría) housed in the old jail, one block north of Parque Central. It's worth a look, but not a linger, which is too bad because Santamaría's story is an interesting one. The orchid collection is impressive.
