Historické kostely v Metropolitní oblast Quito

Historic Churches of Quito

Quito’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, contains one of the most significant concentrations of Spanish colonial religious architecture in the Americas. This selection includes the Basilica of the National Vow, the largest neo-Gothic cathedral in the region, and the Church of La Compañía, renowned for its interior covered entirely in gold leaf. These structures showcase the "Quito School" of art, blending European Baroque and Renaissance styles with indigenous craftsmanship. From the 16th-century San Francisco complex to the neoclassical Metropolitan Cathedral, these sites define the city's spiritual and architectural skyline.
