Known for its towering spires and intricate stone carvings, the basilica offers stunning views of the city from its upper levels. Construction began in the late 19th century, and while it remains technically unfinished, the basilica is fully functional and open to visitors. Its unique gargoyles, which feature native Ecuadorian animals, add a distinct local touch to the architectural style.
