Metallic Building

The Metallic Building is home to the school Buenaventura Corrales and is a standout amongst the most illustrative structures of the instructive and mechanical unrest of the country.

It is situated in one of the greenest zones of San Jose, before the Parque Morazan and alongside the Parque España, which makes a great complexity amongst nature and human manifestations. In 1892, a building propelled in the Eiffel Tower was brought from abroad, with a pre-framed modern outline that was gathered piece by piece.

Today this brilliant bit of craftsmanship couldn't be conceivable as a result of its high cost, which was of 340.000 franks at the time. The engineer Charles Thirion and the organization Societé des Forges de Aiseau from Belgium were employed for this building. A structural distinction is that the sections that hold the paths of the second floor are additionally water chutes.
