COSTA RICA
TOWER EL FORTIN
[Av.Central/calle Central]. It`s situated in the northern quarter of Heredia. It`s surrounded by brushes and iron fences. It`s from brick and remaining of municipal fortifications. It`s a national monument. It was designed by Fadrigue Guttierez. It`s devided into three parts separated by moulds. The first one is four-sided cylinder, the second one rounded with noregular window holes. The third one is eight-sided with the four-leaved clover-like clearances. Probably that building was never completed (there is a lack of considerable final). Architects reproached that with constructional errors such like wrong-way peep holes, opened wider to the outside and narrow down to a flat slit on the inside, that make easy for enemies balls to falling. There is also conviction that was erected by order of dictator Thomas Guardia.
