Fodor's Review:

It's the country's oldest church still in use, and one of the only structures still remaining from the colonial era. It has a low-slung whitewashed facade; the roof is made of cane overlaid with terra-cotta barrel tiles. Inside are an antique wooden altar and ancient paintings of the stations of the cross and the Virgin of Guadalupe, all brought to Costa Rica from Mexico. If you can find someone to open it for you, also take a look inside the religious-art museum next door.

  • Open: Tuesday-Sunday 9-Noon and 1-5
