 Catedral de Cuenca

La Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción en Cuenca, Ecuador, es un impresionante edificio de estilo gótico y neoclásico construido a partir de 1885. Destaca por sus torres gemelas, detalles ornamentales en la fachada y un interior decorado con obras de arte religioso y vitrales coloridos. Ubicada en la Plaza de la Catedral, es un importante punto de referencia en la ciudad.

The city is named Santa Ana de los Ríos de Cuenca in honor of the city of Cuenca in Spain, birthplace of the Spanish viceroy of Peru Andrés Hurtado de Mendoza, who was the one who ordered the Spanish Gil Ramírez Dávalos to found the city and the fact that this place, in its geographical features, is very similar to the Spanish city. In addition, the name includes the fact that it is crossed by the rivers: Tomebamba, Tarqui, Yanuncay and Machángara. The rest of the name comes from the Spanish tradition of dedicating new cities to a saint of the Catholic Church, in this case Santa Ana.
