Maroy Building, Historical building in central San José, Costa Rica.
The Maroy Building features a concrete dome, prominent balconies, columns, and three stone lions positioned above the entrance portico.
Built in 1923, the Maroy Building stands on the former site of La Información newspaper, which burned during the 1919 uprising against Federico Tinoco's dictatorship.
The structure represents the neoclassical architectural style that shaped Costa Rica's urban development during the early twentieth century.
Located at the intersection of Calle 3 and Avenida 1, the Maroy Building provides access to nearby Metropolitan La Sabana Park and Morazán Park.
The Ministry of Culture's Heritage Center restored the building with an investment of approximately 200,000 dollars to preserve its architectural elements.
