One of the twin spires of the Basilica del Voto Nacional, in Quito. You can probably climb up inside it, but I wouldn't even if I could, since this church sits at one of the highest spots in the city (which is already at 9,000 feet); I live at sea level and definitely felt the effects of the extra altitude when I was there.

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.] |
