It is the most representative work of the Baroque in Ecuador and South America.
Its facade is a work of art made of volcanic stone, in its interiors, the beauty and splendor are found in the altars, pulpits, altarpieces, pillars, vaults and domes covered in gold leaf.
Another of the peculiarities of this style is the movement, a product of the way the main columns of the temple and the main altarpiece are designed, which gives the impression that it moves while walking inside the church.
