Great views
The cathedral, in the heart of the city, has some great views of different places around the capital of Costa Rica. It's one of the city's major historical monuments, and is one of the most remarkable things to see. It is relatively recent, dating back to the twentieth century, but is built on the foundations of an ancient shrine. I love the unique architecture, especially the columns that are part of the facade - which are not purely aesthetic, but also serve to protect the cathedral in case of an earthquake.
