Ermita de la Agonía (Liberia)

Landmark · Guanacaste

Liberia's oldest church: a whitewashed 19th-century adobe chapel that sums up why this is called the 'White City' — a calm stop a few blocks from the central park.

Tip

The doors are often closed; ask at the house next door about opening hours, or just enjoy the facade and the little park in front.

Be careful

Keep an eye on your belongings in busy town centres, and dress respectfully if you go inside a church.
