Quito
First UNESCO World Heritage Site (1978)

There are 320 hectares of living historical monuments built in the 16th and 17th century by the finest artists of the world with the original architectonical plans of Michael Angelo, Vigñola, Herrera, Bramante, Guerra, Bermini, Becerra, etc. So much value that Quito won its “heritage” title against Rome(1980).

Quito is not just spectacular buildings and plazas built on top of Inca walls; golden baroque pulpits carved by Juan Bautista Menacho which are the finest of the 17th century and no one can compete with the golden altarpieces by Bernardo de Legarda in the 18th century.

Father Juan de Velasco the greatest Jesuit historian wrote in his 18th century book Modern History of Quito Kingdom :” Just a few have become renowned and of great name. Among the old ones one took the aclamations of all, in the painting Miguel de Santiago pal of Ticiano and Micheal Angelo, whose works were seen with admiration in Rome as he matched Velasquez and exceeded Murillo. In more recent times Andrés Moral ... I knew several Indians and mestizos, leaders in Art; but no one like Bernardo de Legarda, monstrous talent and ability for everything. Its monumental staruary I dare to say that can be put without fear in competition with the rarest of Europe”.

Kerry - After a good nights sleep in our hostel - Posada Del Maple, we re-packed our bags, went to pay fr our flights to the Galapagos Islands, and then in the afternoon headed out to investigate the old part of the city of Quito.

Lots of people were passing the day here by sitting and...
