During your visit you will observe the altarpieces that were carved by the first teachers of the Quito school of art, they are covered with gold leaf.
You will be able to observe the main altar, totally covered with gold leaf, it has Baroque and Mudejar influences. The sacristy and pulpit were the last elements to be completed. The Cathedral was officially completed and consecrated by the second Bishop of Quito, Mons. Fray Pedro de la Peña in 1572.
