Cathedral of Quito
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Quito ((スペイン語:Catedral Metropolitana de Quito)), known simply as ''la Catedral'', is the Catholic cathedral in Quito, Ecuador. Located on the southwestern side of the Plaza de la Independencia (La Plaza Grande), it (and its predecessor building) served as a seat of the Diocese of Quito from 1545 until 1848 when it was elevated to Archdiocese. In 1995, it was elevated to the Cathedral of Ecuador, making it the seniormost Catholic church in the country.〔Arquidiócesis de Quito y Primada del Ecuador (25 Jan 2013), ''(La Arquidiócesis de Quito en la historia (1545-2009) )'' (Spanish ).〕
==Description==
The Cathedral is a striking white-painted monumental church with a single high belltower offset to the right of the main entrance. Built on a plan comprising three longitudinal naves surmounted by semi-ogival arches on square pillars, the basic spatial structure of the Cathedral is typical of the 16th century. Based upon interior features — especially the details of the pillars, arches, and the carved and coffered ceiling — some experts assert that the Cathedral should be characterized as Gothic-Mudéjar in style. It certainly has Gothic features in the pointed arches of its naves, as well as in the ambulatory that surrounds the presbytery.〔''Architectural Guide of Quito'' - Evelia Peralta & Rolando Moya tasquer - Trama Ediciones - 2007.〕
