San Francisco Catholic Church
📍 From San Francisco Square, Ecuador
San Francisco Catholic Church, sitting in Quito's historic center, is an exemplar of the Baroque school of Quito, blending Spanish, Italian, Moorish, Flemish, and Indigenous art influences. This architectural jewel dates back to the 16th century, shortly after the city's Spanish founding. It's part of a larger religious complex that includes a convent and a museum, housing a significant collection of colonial art. The church's standout features include its magnificent facade, the intricately detailed interior with gold leaf, wood carvings, and the famous winged Virgin of Quito. The complex offers a plethora of photogenic spots, particularly the main altarpiece and the choir stalls. Additionally, its elevated position provides unique angles for capturing Quito’s urban landscape and the surrounding Andes. Early mornings or late afternoons offer the best natural light for photography. Remember to check the visiting hours and photography policies in advance.
