Oxcart Driver Monument of Los Ángeles de Atenas

Highlight • Monument

Erected in the small park of the "Y Griega" in Los Ángeles de Atenas, it was inaugurated on April 27, 2003. Its hot-embossed iron construction was forged by the Spanish artist Manuel "Manolo" Torrecillas and represents a tribute to those men and women who dedicated themselves to transporting cargo by cart. The monument stands on one side of the old road to Puntarenas, which the ox drivers traveled daily.

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.
