San José Costa Rica Temple

The San José Costa Rica Temple is a religious building in La Ribera with white marble exterior walls from Torreón and a distinctive spire crowned by an angel Moroni statue. Inside, it contains multiple rooms dedicated to different religious ceremonies and rituals.

The building was constructed in 1999 and dedicated in June 2000, making it the first of its kind for this religious community in the country. This marked the beginning of a new era for worship and community practice across the region.

The temple serves as a central gathering place where members from the region regularly come together for religious ceremonies and spiritual practices. For many believers, it represents an important hub of their faith community and daily religious life.

The site is located near well-known hotels and easy to find once you know the surrounding area. Visitors should note that this is an active religious place with formal rules and specific times for access and activities.

The property spans nearly 2 hectares and draws visitors from several countries in Central America, not just from the local area. This wide geographic reach shows its importance as a regional center.
