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. The luminosity is another of the peculiarities of the Baroque, the upper windows of the main nave are placed with such precision that they illuminate the entire church with sunlight, hence its pseudonym of the golden church.
