The Metropolitan Cathedral of San José, Costa Rica

            The Metropolitan Cathedral of San José is a Roman Catholic church that was built in the 1870’s after an earthquake destroyed a small adobe church on the site. It was designed by a Spanish architect in neo-classical style with elements of Baroque and Greek Orthodox. 
The front of the building features a facade with three towers and Doric pillars supporting an overhang that covers a wide front portico. Since its humble beginnings, the cathedral has been rebuilt, restored, and redesigned many times due to devastating earthquakes.
