Church of the Immaculate Conception of Heredia

Highlight • Religious Site

The first church in Heredia was a small wooden construct built as early as 1704 in an attempt to convert the natives; nothing remains of the original building, which was replaced by a larger, more permanent adobe structure in July 1736 when Heredia was granted its own independent parish. Construction on the current building began towards the end of the colonial period. The cornerstone was laid on October 31, 1797, but the church was not completed until several years later; though the exact date is unknown, it is believed to have been completed in 1806. The façade was again reconstructed in 1851 when an earthquake brought it tumbling to the ground.

El Fortín

Highlight • Historical Site

In the year 1876, by order of the Plaza Commander and Governor of the Province, Fadrique Gutiérrez (1844-1897). Without being an architect, he himself designed the work. The Heredian historian Luis Dobles Segreda points out that it was part of a project of four towers in total, one in each corner of the place where the Cabildo was located. Apparently construction was suspended due to lack of financial resources.
