The Plaza de la Libertad Electoral is one of the most symbolic squares for the Costa Rican democracy.
It is located in front of the National Park, one of the most charming parks of Costa Rica.
You can find many symbolic buildings around it, not only for its cultural value but also for its architectural one like the Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones (Supreme Electoral Court of Costa Rica) and the National Bank.
Plaza de la Libertad Electoral is one of the neoclassical structures with more personality of the Costa Rican capital. It houses one of sculptor José Sancho Benito´s works, The Epitome of Flight, which is made of pink granite.
