National Theatre of Costa Rica - Grant Inman Post 3

The National Theater of Costa Rica is situated in the heart of the country's capital, San Jose. The building was built in 1891 and was funded by taxes on coffee, which was Costa Rica's main export at the time. The interior of the building is decorated lavishly with real gold lining much of the woodwork and furnishings. I spent time here in January of 2014 while studying abroad with some of my best friends. There is a cafe inside of the theater that serves coffee and sandwiches. The building offers an excellent way to soak in Costa Rica's history and  love for culture and art.
