Heredia attractions
The town's central square (parque central) is adorable and charming, and contains most of the city's landmarks. Many shops and restaurants line this square, as well as many college students and romantics.
The Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción, built in 1797, is the focal point.
To the north, El Fortín is the last remaining tower of a Spanish fortress and the symbol of Heredia, though it is closed to the public. It was built in 1876 by the then president Tomas Guardia. In 1974 this monument was declared a National Symbol and property of the Heredia town.
The old Post Office,Palacio Municipal, and Argentine School give a glimpse of how the city looked back in its heyday.
The historic Casa de la Culture, once home of Costa Rican president Alfredo Gonzáles Flores, give periodic rotations of art and music.
To the east, the freestanding facade of a demolished building stands in front of what is apparently a parking lot.
A block south-east of the park is the Iglesia del Carmen.
