at sa josé , Escazú Costa Rica

<p><b>San Jose</b> is the capital of <a href="/pages/w/107459615943403">Costa Rica</a>, head of the province of San José, and the nation's largest city. Located in the <a href="/pages/w/110340722349871">Central Valley</a>, San José is the seat of national government, the focal point of political and economic activity, and the major transportation hub of this <a href="/pages/w/108163152545825">Central America</a>n nation. The population of <a href="/pages/w/138786742812500">San José Canton</a> is 288,054, though the <a href="/pages/w/665517570208298">metropolitan area</a> stretches beyond the canton limits and comprises a third of the country's population.</p><p>Culturally, the city can be considered almost entirely European, in part because of Spanish immigration soon after Costa Rica's contact with Christopher Columbus, and the privileged classes which generally studied in Europe during the nineteenth century and early twentieth century. This can be seen in the architecture of the city, namely theatres, museums and houses in the city centre. It is named in honor of <a href="/pages/w/107974852557175">Joseph of Nazareth</a>.</p><p>Though few people live in the city center, it is the most important working area of the country, which brings in more than a million people daily. Despite its problems, according to studies in Latin America, San José is still one of the safest and least violent cities in the region. In 2006, the city was appointed Ibero-American Capital of Culture.</p><p>San José is the sixth most important destination in Latin America, according to <i>The MasterCard Global Destinations Cities Index 2012</i>. San José ranked 15th in the world’s fastest growing destination cities by visitor cross-border spending.</p><h2>History</h2><p>The population grew during the eighteenth century colonial planning, which was different from the traditional foundation plans of Spanish cities in the continent.</p>
