Quito is South America’s Cultural Capital
Ecuador’s capital, Quito –the first city to be given the status of a
UNESCO World Heritage Site– is known as the Cultural Capital
of South America. Situated high in the Andean mountains, at
an altitude of 2,850m, Quito was built on the foundations of an
ancient Incan city, with a colonial center that reflects European
and indigenous roots. Among its most outstanding sights are Santo
Domingo Church and el Panecillo. In the southern part of the Old
Town, Santo Domingo Church stands in the Plaza; its sculptures
and paintings are by celebrated Dominican artists, representing
fascinating periods in Quito’s religious history.
The Panecillo provides a panoramic view of the entire city of Quito,
and also a statue of the only winged Virgin in the world – the Virgin
of Quito. From the Panecillo’s southernmost lookout point, the
visitor can see some of the volcanoes of the Andes mountains.
