Quito, Pichincha

Quito's Historic center.

The historic center of Quito is a wonderful place located in
the center of the capital.

It is a very beautiful place to learn about the country's

history, it has museums, libraries, churches and finally, it
has an infrastructure close to the past.
It is beautiful because it is a unique place in the world, the
people who pass by are very friendly and to highlight the art
it is everywhere, the pigeons fly over and are found in high
numbers.

It is a very commercial area for bakeries, cafeterias,

libraries, ice cream, shoe stores, tailors. There are many
things. Of all the places in the world to visit, I choose the
historic center.

Places to visit in the historic center:

The Museum of San Francisco, manifests artistic works and
varied techniques, especially from the Quito School of Art,
which was born precisely in this place.
The Plaza de San Francisco: for years it supplied water

and as a place for social meeting and recreation.
La Estampería Quiteña, is a chalcographic engraving
