Romualdo Ricardo Jiménez Oreamuno[citation needed] (February 6, 1859 – January 4, 1945) served as president of Costa Rica on three occasions: 1910–1914, 1924–1928 and 1932–1936.

One of his main struggles was the rebuilding of the biggest city in the country at the time.

During his last term in office he concentrated on the country's infrastructure and educational system.

He built several large buildings for school housing, improved and built new roads throughout the country and constructed an aqueduct system that started in the central valley at Ojo de Agua that flowed into the Pacific Ocean at Puntarenas.

[2] During his administration, the bridge from Filadelfia and Liberia was constructed, as was the Old National Theater.
