Next to the Central Bank of Costa Rica stands the Coffee Monument. I admit that I have never really paid much attention to this fountain; I know its name and whenever I pass by it, I see people sitting there. However, I do not know its history or origin.
The plaque reads:
To the People of Costa Rica
In commemoration of 200 of contribution to social and economic development thanks to its product of excellence.
