Cuartel Bella Vista, San José, 1917
Bella Vista fort, San José 1917

 

 

Costa Rica no siempre ha estado sin ejército. Esta es una imágen del golpe de estado de uno de los hermanos Tinoco en 1917 contra el Presidente Alfredo González Flores. Los soldados están en el techo del Cuartel Bella Vista, situado en el sitio del actual Banco Central en el centro de San José. Although Costa Rica presently does not have an army, it has had its share of warfare also. This photo was taken during the 1917 coup of one of the Tinoco brothers against President Alfredo González Flores. The soldiers are standing on top of the Bella Vista Fort, at the site where the Banco Central is now located in downtown San José.
