San Francisco Church and San Francisco Square
Made by franciscogualtieri
Quito’s spectacular old town extends over 320 hectares – the largest historic centre in the Americas. Host to 40 churches and chapels, 16 convents and monasteries with their respective cloisters. San Francisco's Church is Quito’s oldest church and monastery. The complex was built by Francisco Cantuña. Legend has it that he made a pact for his soul with the Devil in exchange for the completion of the Church. The Devil, eager to receive the soul of Cantuña, helped him to complete the monumental work with armies of devils. Upon the completion of the church, he demanded Cantuña hand over his soul. Cantuña insisted on first examining the devil’s work and, on inspection, discovered one stone missing, thus saving his soul, the Devil’s work incomplete.
