These pictures were sent to us by famous costa rican photograher George Rouppolo. They were shot at Sanatorio Carlos Durán in Prusia, Cartago, a former tubercolosis sanatorium built in 1915 and shut down in 1963. Every teenage goth band has to go here and take gloomy band pictures, and stoners go here to be scared of ghosts.
According to the photographer, the toilets were on the ground so that the patients could simply drag their unhealthy bodies there instead of walking. However, looking at the pictures, the WC appears to be of the french type, with a ruffled surface much more suited for placing one's feet than one's behind.
