From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are a bit more than 30 Churches & Capilla's in the Historic Center of Quito, the best-preserved, least altered historic center in Latin America. In Spanish, (El Centro Histórico de Quito) was constructed on what was once a 16th century Inca city at 2,850 meters above sea level in the Andes Mountains near the Equator.


The Colonial Center of Quito is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stretches over 790 acres and contains 130 monumental buildings, 5,000 smaller properties in addition to the numerous Churches and Convents.
