Back in Quito we did some sightseeing in Old Town. This is Plaza Grande near our hotel and the site of the Presidential Palace.
The area was the original city of Quito and is packed with historic buildings.
The fabulous La Campania de Jesus. This is a fantastically elaborate church blending Spanish, Moorish and indigenous elements, mostly in gold. Unfortunately no cameras allowed.
San Francisco Plaza, the main plaze.
The statue of the Madonna on the hilltop. This is an unusual one with wings.
