Herdocia building, Historical venue in central San José, Costa Rica
The Herdocia building stands as a four-story structure at the intersection of Second Street and Third Avenue, featuring neoclassical columns and baroque window designs.
Luis Llach Llagostera constructed this building in 1945 for Carmen Herdocia Rojas, who inherited the property while studying in London during 1934.
The Heritage Center of the Ministry of Culture invested 90 million colones in the restoration of this building, recognizing its architectural importance.
Located north of the Edificio Correos, the building combines brick and concrete materials across four symmetrical levels with a central tower at its main corner.
Two spiral staircases inside the building lead visitors to the fourth floor, representing the architect's only project exceeding two stories in height.
