Square with huge stairs leading to the National Museum, with a famous statue, Don Pepe Figueres.

Since it was planted, the spacious Plaza de la Democracia has become a pleasant spot, bordered by two prestigious museums. In 2018, the square was chosen as the venue for the transfer of power: the new president, Carlos Alvarado Quesada, wanted to restore the square to its rightful place. A veritable bastion and witness to the historic events that forged Costa Rica, the Plaza de la Democracia y de la Abolición del Ejército was inaugurated in 1989 as part of the centenary celebrations of Costa Rican democracy.

Oh la belle place avec ses escaliers majestueux et en perspective en haut le musée national, on y fera une belle halte soit sur les marches ou les nombreux bancs de cet endroit, ou alors y faire de belles photos. Ne pas manquer de visiter sur le bas de la place le marché artisanal et ses nombreuses échoppes (attention c'es assez cher ici) vous trouverez surement meilleur prix au marché central ou au cours de votre circuit au Costa Rica.

A large space on the market, overlooking the crafts market, opposite the yellow building Musée National, and not far from the Parliament. A pleasant place to have a small break.
