COSTA RICA
BANCO NACIONAL
[Av. Central-1/calles 2-4]. As institution it was established in 1914 (under the name Banc International) and changed its name to Banc National in 1936. There used to be the Square of Artilleria and the area at the eastern wall used to be occupied by St. Joseph
chapel. There is a conviction that it is the site from which the town was
born. It`s skyscraped building. The beton starcase in the center devides it into two parts. The structure is closed by the concrete frames that encompass the rows of windows (each of window is hided deep into the concrete surface). By the western wall of the bank there is a bronze sculpture of 12 Costa
Rica farming people.
