Curridabat Canton, Administrative canton in San José Province, Costa Rica
Located on the southeast edge of San José, Curridabat Canton spans 15.95 square kilometers at an elevation of 1,208 meters above sea level.
The canton of Curridabat was established on August 21, 1929, with a population of 5,000 people and has since developed into a suburban municipality.
The San Antonio de Padua Parish, constructed between 1910 and 1933, stands as a central religious landmark in the district of Curridabat.
