This Catherdral is gorgeous. It's under construction but you can still see the beauty. Just beautiful. A must go! Next to parque Calderon
This an absolutely beautiful facility that lends itself to musical performances.I attended a symphony performance which displayed the talents of an outstanding orchestra. The performance was so enjoyable that the time absolutely flew by.David B
It will cost you $1 entry to visit, but it turns out it is well worth it. Up at the altar is a life sized grouping of the last supper minus the table and food. Jesus is surrounded by his followers. When I first walked in, spotting this out of the corner of my eye, I thought I was interrupting a service in progress. The church is plain, but it is part of the charm. It is not overly laden with gold and ornamentation. Continue past the altar to the next room that looks like some type of meeting room, but then venture outside. On the right hand wall are interesting old photos and on the left is the gift shop. I did not venture in, but others I spoke with said they had some incredible and reasonable items for sale in there.
我真的很喜欢老教堂的画。教堂外面你可以坐两层的公交车,在公交车上你能看到到昆卡最重要的地方。
It's not the grandest or the most beautiful church in Ecuador by any means, yet it's just across the street from the New Cathedral and therefore surely worth a visit, especially that this church (now museum) is authentic in its style to the century when it was built (unlike the new one). See the frescoes and the ceiling.
这个城市里的许多其他建筑和塔楼虽然已经很高了,在这幢庞大的建筑比较之下,却显得不是那么高了! ! !(很可惜,他们还没有盖好支撑重量的地基,建筑就在广场的另一边,与旧的教堂相对。)
The contemporary carvings of the Christian story are in striking contrast to the age of the building. The wooden model of the "new cathedral" is beautiful!
This cathedral is quite plan as far as cathedrals go but think for a moment. When this was built (1557), it would be 83 years before the Pilgrims would land on Plymouth Rock! Put in this context, this cathedral represents a monumental amount of work and dedication!There is some nice artwork inside.You can smell the history.The double decker bus tour ($5) starts and stops right outside the cathedral on the west side (between the cathedral and Parke Calderon).
To think that this building was started in 1557. It is a beautiful building and I am glad they put it to good use rather than tear it down when the 'new' cathedral was built. Many interesting church artifacts.
这座古老的教堂值得一游,门票2美元。里面陈列了很多有趣的遗产,还介绍了很多昆卡的历史。
