San Joaquin is a very religious community, and at the center of their faith is the impressive centennial church built from 1865 to 1888.
Due to the beauty of its architecture and decoration, the church has been declared as an architectural and historical heritage of Costa Rica. All the stones were brought in oxcarts all the way from Cartago.
Fourteen Italian sculptures of the 'Via Crucis', donated by the families of the town at the time of construction, decorate the beautiful gardens that surround the church.
