2019Legacy of Our Independence - Miniature Sheet

Costa Rica's journey to independence began on September 15, 1821, when the country, along with other Central American nations, declared itself free from Spanish colonial rule. The people of Costa Rica played a pivotal role in this movement, inspired by the ideals of liberty and self-determination. Since then, September 15 has been celebrated annually as Costa Rica's Independence Day, commemorating the nation's sovereignty and its commitment to freedom.
