San José (German Sankt Josef) is the capital of the Central American state of Costa Rica and has about 340,000 inhabitants [1]. It is also the capital of the province of San José and the largest city in the country. San José is located in the center of Costa Rica in the plateau Valle Central 1170 meters above sea level. After she had counted only 86,900 inhabitants in 1950, the city grew very fast in the second half of the 20th century. San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, is located in the Valle Central region between the Talamanca mountain range in the south and volcanoes in the north. Characteristic of the city are the buildings in the Spanish colonial style. These include, for example, the Classicist National Theater of Costa Rica at the Plaza de la Cultura, a popular central meeting place.
