 <\/p>\n

\"\"Music is a big part of Costa Rican culture. Most times, you could see them festively dancing and singing, with musical horns roaring in the background. These fun loving Latin Americans enjoy a fusion of American, Latin and British contemporary rock and a timeless adoration and influence of 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s music.<\/p>\n

Enjoying music collectively is another characteristic Costa Ricans possess. They believe as many others do that music is best experienced when shared.<\/p>\n

To have a venue to house bands, musicians and even orchestras like the Templo de la Musica continues to bring life to the surroundings of Costa Rica. That\u2019s why this temple is truly a big draw for tourists and locals alike.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Piece of Versailles in the Whole of Costa Rica<\/strong><\/p>\n

Painter turned architect Francisco Salazar created this eye-catching temple, replacing a wooden cubicle that used to stand in its place. It\u2019s believed that he drew out his inspiration from the temple of love and music in Versailles in France. It\u2019s no wonder those who come here are seemingly mesmerized by the temple\u2019s architectural beauty and the myriads of music played in it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More than a Place for Good Music<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inaugurated on December 24, 1920, Templo de la Musica also housed politicians who delivered multitudes of speeches and exchanges of powers to this date.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Uneventful Days<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re touring Costa Rica and happened to be in San Jose, the Templo de la Musica is undoubtedly a must-see. On idler days where there are no bands or no political occasions happening, you can still marvel at how grotesque this structure is. You may not be witnessing a concert or any performance at that but you\u2019re definitely not missing out on this architectural feat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If You\u2019re Lucky..<\/strong><\/p>\n

A number of concerts have been made in the Templo de la Musica and if you\u2019re in town, you might just get lucky enough to witness musical performances by bands, groups of musicians or even the the San Jose City Band and the National Symphonic Orchestra.<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re a music freak or not, the Templo de la Musica is still a Costa Rican you shouldn\u2019t miss. With the depth of musical and political history engraved into it, it naturally demands attention appreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting to Templo de la Musica<\/strong><\/p>\n

This temple is not at all hard to miss, considering its intricate and outstanding design as well as its location. Situated in Parque Morazan in\u00a0San Jose<\/a>, Templo de la Musica is very accessible to everyone. All you need to bring are your dancing shoes, unrelenting ears and a camera to commit these musical events to memory.<\/p>\n
