San Francisco church Cuenca - Ecuador

AZUAY-CUENCA

                                                This church is one of the most important in the city. The façade facing a small atrium in the south has a neoclassic-style body of important presence. Sturdy pilasters, topped by capitals and elaborate cornices accentuate the horizontality of the body, which opens to the center the main door with flare treatment.

To the center stands the slender Tower of Baroque style. Three elements stand out in it: the base, the body with mullioned windows and the dome topped by the lantern. The tower with its verticality and the body of the first floor with its horizontal directionality, produce a sense of equilibrium.
