Quito's famous Baroque church, Fundacion Iglesia de la Compania dazzles visitors with its golden interior. Dripping with extravagance, the church is adorned head to toe in gold leaf decorations, perhaps explaining why it took 160 years to build. Equally impressive-- though not nearly as golden--the church's symmetrical facade gives visitors a taste of what's to come inside. Have a look at the indigenous Ecuadorian faces depicted subtly on the pillars.

  Baroque and exquisite, this monument to the colony is a gem to be visited in Quito. We were astonished with so much gold.

  入場は9:30からとなっていますが、少し遅くなります(ラテン系では普通ですが)。どうやって入場するのか説明や案内もなくが分かりづらいです。入り口フェンス近くの係員らしい人に声をかけてみましょう。あるいは、私達のように、団体の後ろにくっついて入ってっしまう方法もあります(入場料は払いましょう）。 内部は写真撮影禁止。奥の売店で絵葉書を売っていますが、開店は10:00以降です(ラテン系の時間感覚です)...  more »

  Admission is from 9:30, but it is a little late (usually in Latin). It is difficult to understand how to enter without explanation and guidance. Let's talk to the attendant person near the entrance fence. Or, like us, there's a way to get in and out of the back of the Organization (we'll pay the entrance fee). Photography prohibited inside. I sell a postcard at the back shop, but the opening is after 10:00 (it is a sense of Latin time). Other souvenir shops, such as Kotopaxi jigsaw puzzle, were sold.
