Description
Cartago is a city located in the Cartago province of Costa Rica. It holds historical significance as it was once the capital of Costa Rica during the Spanish colonial period. Founded in the 16th century, it played a crucial role in the early development of the country. Today, it's known for its rich cultural heritage and the breathtaking landscapes that surround it.
One of the most notable landmarks in Cartago is the Basílica de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, a stunning basilica that attracts thousands of pilgrims each year. The basilica is famous for housing a statue of the Virgin of the Angels, which is considered the patron saint of Costa Rica. This site is considered one of the most important religious destinations in the country.
Cartago is also a gateway to the magnificent Irazu Volcano, one of Costa Rica's most famous and active volcanoes.
