Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco

Established in 1536 by Franciscan monks, this magnificent architectural masterpiece features a museum in its convent with art from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Reviewed By georgesB4777WE - Miami Beach, United States

This is the oldest church in Quito (from the 16th century) and one of the most beautiful. Though one can argue that the Jesuit one is more “uber” than this church, it, nevertheless is “uber-magnificent” also. It is relatively plain from the outside, but its baroque inside explodes and takes your breath away. The main altar and the side altars are beautifully gilded and carved. Its decorated ceilings remind me of a Moorish design, probably coming from Spain. Every inch of the interior is covered with gilt or art. A site that cannot be missed. The admission to the church is free and photos during services are prohibited. The convent and museum next door however, charges a $4 admission fee and has a separate entrance.

Iglesia de Santa Teresita

Reviewed By coderPro - Quito, Ecuador

This gothic church is absolutely exquisite and well off the beaten path, but still worth a visit for architecture buffs. There is also a nice Greek restaurant nearby called Souvlaki if you’re craving something that isn’t Ecuadorian.
