These are the twin spires of the Basilica del Voto Nacional, in Quito. Not very old (begun in 1887, inaugurated 101 years later), it is the largest neo-Gothic basilica in the Americas. Also maybe the highest, since it sits on a high point of the city (which is already more than 9,000 feet above sea level). [To see more churches from around the world, visit Beth's meme.] |

You make it all look so fresh and alive. The housing at the bottom edge makes me wonder what it would be like to live there. Same as I feel about, say, Mont Saint Michel.
ReplyDeleteI was really impressed with the synchronized double clocks, but it hasn’t always been thus.
That's magnificent. Similar in some ways to Sydney's St Mary's Cathedral.
