The Franciscan order commissioned this church and connecting convent and brewery. It faces a grand plaza also named for St. Francis of Assisi, whose portrait is on display inside the convent. Set aside time to explore every corner of the convent/musuem, brewery, courtyards, choir loft, and bell tower (not an arduous climb but be mindful as there is a lack of handrails). Great views of the plaza - filled with life - from the belltowee, and the courtyards are peaceful and meditative. The collection of Quiteño religious art (the Quito School) from the colonial period (1542-1824) is impressive and include paintings, sculptures, furniture and ceremonial objects. The preserved brewery sells a local brew in three flavors (not to my taste but out of curiosity worth the low price of a...

This is the oldest church in Quito, dating back to the sixteenth century.The church was established and is still maintained by Franciscan monks. It is free to visit, and offers daily masses. Due to earthquakes, it's been repaired several times over the centuries. Photography is not allowed inside the church. It is the center for the Plaza de San Francisco, which is Quito's historic center. Outside in the plaza you can purchase handmade goods from local vendors, listen to street musicians or grab a snack.

La Iglesia de San Francisco es una basílica católica que se levanta en medio del centro histórico de Quito, frente a la plaza del mismo nombre. La estructura es el conjunto arquitectónico de mayor dimensión dentro de los centros históricos de toda América, y por ello es conocido como "el Escorial del Nuevo Mundo".San Francisco es considerada una joya de la arquitectura continental por su mezcla de diferentes estilos combinados a lo largo de más de 150 años de construcción. Sobre sus tres hectáreas y media de superficie se han construido trece claustros (seis de ellos de gran magnitud), tres templos, un gran Atrio, sumando aproximadamente cuarenta mil metros cuadrados de edificación. Allí se desarrollan múltiples actividades en la actualidad: las conventuales y religiosas, de atención pública en las áreas de salud, de comunicación, educativas y otras de corte popular que mantienen activo al edificio. Dentro de la iglesia se encuentran más de 3.500 obras de arte colonial, de múltiples manifestaciones artísticas y variadas técnicas, especialmente aquellas correspondientes a la Escuela Quiteña de arte, que nació precisamente en este lugar. Posee también una biblioteca franciscana, descrita en el siglo XVII como la mejor del Virreinato del Perú. Al conjunto le precede una plaza homónima que durante años abasteció a la ciudad de agua de su fuente central, y que ha funcionado como mercado popular, como espacio de concentraciones militares y políticas, y como lugar de encuentro y recreación social. La escalera cóncavo-convexa que comunica la plaza con el Atrio, que resalta la fachada manierista-barroca del templo mayor, es considerada de gran importancia...
