Orosi Church, Colonial church in Orosi Valley, Costa Rica.
The church features adobe walls and terracotta tiles, with an interior containing wooden pews arranged to create an intimate worship space.
The Franciscan missionaries initiated the construction of this church in 1743, completing the parish structure in 1766 after building their convent.
The altar exhibits gold detailing and religious paintings, representing the artistic and religious expressions of eighteenth-century Costa Rica.
The adjacent Religious Art Museum contains over 100 artifacts and charges 500 colones for adults and 250 colones for children between 6-12 years.
Despite multiple earthquakes through centuries, this structure maintains its original architectural elements through careful restoration efforts.
