The record
A fragment on the north-east side of Costa Rica's foreign ministry, in the country that abolished its army in 1948.
A fragment stands on the north-east side of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is worth noting where it is: Costa Rica abolished its standing army in 1948 and spent the Cold War as an unarmed state in a region full of proxy conflicts, which makes it an unusual address for a piece of military border fortification.
