Quito, the city where I live, is the capital of Ecuador. I am very proud to say that Quito was designated the first UNESCO Heritage City in 1978 for it´s wonderforul colonial architecture.
The city has the least altered historic center in Latin America. Therefore the first thing you have to do in Quito is go to the downtown where you will be able to find a lot of architecture reliquies. The monasteries of San Francisco, La Basilica, La Coompañia, are examples of the old Baroque school of Quito, which is a mixture of Spanish, Italian, Moorish, Flemish, and Indigenous art. Even though there aren´t tall buldings there are a lot of colonial houses, in fact the entire downtown is full of colonial houses that hide Quito´s history.
For all these
