On June 9^th, we enjoyed a City Tour and visit of the National Museum, which took place on occasion of the visit of the group of the Troy University.

Exploring the city resulted very interesting because San Jose characterizes by a great number of places of cultural interest. Indeed it is a capital which is experiencing an important transformation in the architectural as well as cultural field.

This is due to the plan of repopulating the city center and also because of the fact that the cultural and social development has been encouraged. It´s right here in this capital where important cultural events of the entire country are performed all year through.

There is a great variety of theatres, amongst which the most important one is the majestic National Theatre where renowned companies of the theatre, opera and dance scene from all over the world present their performances. Furthermore there are many cultural centers, for example the National Center of Culture (CENAC) and Former Customs Builidng (Antigua Aduana) with festivals, expositions and cultural events all year round.
