The Ruins of Ujarrás, is the only thing that remains of the first church built in Costa Rica during the 17th century, and they are appreciated as a reliquary from the colonial era. A place of great importance since it was a settlement of the Huetar indigenous people, it was abandoned in 1833. The indigenous population of Ujarrás became extinct at the beginning of the 18th century, so it became a mestizo town. Florencio del Castillo, who was President of the Cortes of Cádiz, was born there. Thanks to his efforts, Ujarrás was erected as a town in 1813. Due to several fever epidemics, the town of Ujarrás was abandoned between 1832 and 1833, and its neighbors moved to the territory known as Llanos de Santa Lucía, today Paraíso.
