Church of la Compañía de Jesús

This church is a living example of art and faith in Ecuador, a true expression of the Baroque, built between 1605 and 1765. La Compañía de Jesús is Quito’s most ornate church and a standout among the baroque splendors of the Old Town. The prowess of colonial Quito artisans contributed as well, covering the temple in gold and gifting magnificent works of art.
