Grecia is a charming city in the province of Cartago, Costa Rica, known as the "Ciudad Blanca" (White City), and famous for its unique colonial architecture and tranquil atmosphere. At around 1,000 meters above sea level, the city enjoys a pleasant climate with an average annual temperature of 22°C, making it an ideal place to escape the coastal heat and humidity. Grecia's most famous landmark is the "Iglesia de la Merced" (Metal Church) in the Central Park, a Gothic church made entirely of prefabricated metal components, built by Belgian craftsmen in the 19th century, which has survived earthquakes and has become a symbol of the city's history. Stroll through the city and you'll find colorful houses, cobblestone streets, and the warm, friendly greetings of the locals. Away from the hustle and bustle, it retains a traditional Costa Rican lifestyle and is surrounded by coffee plantations and rainforests, making it a great destination to experience nature and culture.
