Don't let the humble entrance fool you. Once in, the space is wide open and huge, the architecture is simple yet elegant. Check out the library, and the rooftop which the dome of the Iglesia de la Compania de Jesus is just a stone throw...

Un agradable lugar en el Centro Histórico de Quito, donde se realizan exposiciones y muestras. Casi siempre existen actividades. Turista nacional o extranjero debe visitarlo. Dentro podrá apreciar cómo eran las casas antiguas de Quito con sus patios. Está ubicado hacia la esquina derecha de la Plaza Grande. El parqueadero más cercano está a un par de cuadras. En el interior existe el servicio de baños públicos que se debe pagar. Alrededor existen algunos lugares para comer y tomar refrescos o helados. Generalmente no tiene costo el ingreso. Cuando hagas un tour por Quito histórico, debes conocer este centro, aunque sea solo para tomar un descanso en sus bancas de piedra a la sombra de una vieja palmera. Disfruta tu Ecuador!
