The whole church is made out of gold, it is breathtaking the amount of detail and craftmanship. It was two dollars to get in, but worth it. You are not allowed to take pictures, but that is the same in most places. I would recommend a tour or a guide because they are locals and they usually know extra facts that you would not usually learn just going in on your own. Certainly a must see on your Quito trip!!

Most Impressive Church in Quito
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/01/04
This church is known to the locals as the most impressive church in the area. The inside is covered with gold, and construction is still in process to repair parts damaged by an earthquake a few years ago. If you are going to see one church in Quito, go to La Compania. It is centrally located right off the Plaza de Independencia.
