The 13 Best Things to Do in Quito, Ecuador
"At Saint Francis Square I found the Church and Convent of St. Francis, the city’s oldest building dating to the 1500s and taking almost 150 years to complete; its Baroque design makes it one of the largest historical structures in Latin America, the plaza is huge and great for people-watching, and the site sits atop ancient Incan ruins including the palace of Emperor Atahualpa." - Matthew Kepnes
