iglesia de san jose de orosi and the museum

During our stay the church and the museum were closed. We only could check the facade and garden around it. The church is very small. But lovely old architecture, very well preserved and beautiful views around.

The church is really neat and has some nice paintings and impressive altars. I did not visit the Museum, but the Church is certainly worth a stop.

Worth the visit to see a bit of the culture of Orosi. Loverly grounds and always plently of locals neay by. A very simple walk from just about any where in the Orosi town centre. Very easy access

This is a truly beautiful little church. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. The grounds are also very lovely, so take a few minutes to smell the hydrangeas. The small museum isn't all that impressive, but they try. Sadly, there is a huge new modern monstrosity of a church right next to it. I consider that a cardinal sin in the area of attractive historical buildings. Holy Week in Orosi is an experience worth the trip. The streets are clogged with Roman soldiers, Virgins, a huge cross, etc. On Good Friday the body is carried around town on an open litter with hundreds of the faithful.

It is a beautiful old church. The museum is very interesting so I recommend it. It explains a lot of Orosi`s past.

The church was one of the first built by the Spaniards who arrived in CR in the 1740s. It is a beautiful small church with beautiful paintings and a nice altar. I had only one issue, I wanted to do the tour but the person in charge of opening opened ten minutes late and went back into the church and to a room next to the altar. When we approached her, she was busy feeling up on a man who I am guessing was her boyfriend. We asked her about the tour and she said it would be a few minutes. We left and were honestly too embarrassed to stay.

I didn't do the tour, but I looked around the church and its grounds. It was built in 1745 and is a cute little colonial church worth checking out. Adds to the charm and historic appeal of Orosi. There is a large, colorful mural on the grounds that depicts Orosi people harvesting their crop.

We happened to visit during a wedding which was interesting to see. It looked and felt a lot like a US wedding.This is a modest, local, Costa Rican church but with history back to the 1700's. There is a small museum attached ($1 fee) which has some good area history, art, clothing articles, and furniture.Worth 30-60 minutes to take a pass through both the church and museum if you are in the area.If this review is helpful then please indicate so below.

La plus veille égilse du Costa Rica. Intérieur magnifique en bois. A s'arrêter si vous passez par Orosi.

Die Kirche soll die älteste im spanischen Kolonialstil gebaute Kirche in Costa Rica sein. Sie stammt aus dem Jahre 1743 und wurde nicht zerstört. Ein schönes Kleinod gegenüber dem immer belebten Fussballplatz von Orosi.

Estuve el año pasado con mi familia ,donde alquilamos un carro y recorrimos buena parte de Costarica,entre ellas la Iglesia de Orosi

Aquí también se puso la primera piedra de para lo que hoy es nuestro País Costa Rica , no solo en el aspecto religioso , sino también como sociedad, infraestructura , siembra , manejo de ganado, etc

La iglesia y el museo son pequeños, con algunas obras de arte coloniales, el encanto que tiene el lugar es su ubicación rodeado de montañas y rios

Si uno está en Cartago, viendo la Basílica o paseando por el centro, NO puede dejar de ir a Orosi. Es un valle impresionante. Pero lo que más se disfruta es el camino... no es llegar, ES IR.Espectaculares vistas y hermoso atardecer. Eso sí, lleve claro que es una ermita sumamente sencilla y un museo humilde. Si alguien le cuenta la historia, usted va a ir al pasado...Coma cerca de ahí, en la esquina hay uno rico... mejor no vaya a otros que son más caros... déjele algo al pueblito que de eso vive!

Wij waren er tegen sluitingstijd, dus lang hebben we er niet kunnen zijn (3/4 uur, ongeveer). We hebben wel alles kunnen zien, maar als je een half uurtje langer hebt, kun je op je gemak alles bekijken.Echt wel een pareltje (ook de kerk) in het dorpje dat verder weinig te bieden heeft.
