UNESCO World Heritage

This church is another example of a fusion of Spanish, Italian, Moorish and indigenous art. At the end of the XIX century the Italian religious mission eliminated the old baroque and replaced it with a sober and elegant neo-Gothic Renaissance style that is appreciated today. Inside is the El Rosario chapel, a magnificent expression of the Quito baroque from the 18th century.
