Info Main nave of the Church of the Society of Jesus (La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús), a Jesuit church in Quito, Ecuador. The exterior doesn't give an idea of the beauty of the interior, with a large central nave, which is profusely decorated with gold leaf, gilded plaster and wood carvings, making of it the most ornate church in Quito. The temple is one of the most significant works of Spanish Baroque architecture in America and considered the most beautiful church in Ecuador. All by me, Poco2 20:10, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

I would find and link it myself, except that since yesterday, my efforts to find photos in any category other than "Good photos" are not working. That seems to happen every so often. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:47, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- Hello Ikan, actually we have 2 FPs, one of the altar and another one of the pipe organ. This church is really spectacular and cameras are actually not allowed but did some paper work and got some local help :) Poco2 21:04, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

- Support Reminds me of what Aldous Huxley wrote in Heaven & Hell about how the Church had to make its medieval buildings (and yes, I know this is not one) look like such lavishly outfitted palaces of material splendor, with much finish that was shiny and sparkly, so that the congregants could feel like they were entering a small piece of heaven.
