Church located on two adjoining plots of land that today form Mariscal Lamar Street

It is thesecond largest church in the city. This building does not stand on the same site as the former convent and chapel of the Dominicans, since in colonial times they were located on two adjoining plots of land that today form Mariscal Lamar Street. The present church, whose façade is framed by two imposing twin towers 37 m high, was begun in the second half of the 19th century. It was completed in the 1930s and dedicated to the Virgen del Rosario, better known as Morenica del Rosario.

c'est du grandiose
Bon cette église ne fera pas concurrence à la cathédrale mais son style colonial est du plus bel effet, c'est un grande bâtisse somme on en voit souvent en Equateur, sa place qui est devant la met bien en valeur en dégageant la vue et ses façades et clochers sont magnifiques. L'intérieur est richement décoré, pour la visiter il vous faudra souvent aller aux horaires des messes avant ou après car il ferme cette église. la nuit c'est éclairé avec des jeux de lumières.
