Description

With its white adobe façade, single, squat tower made of red brick and an entryway fronted by a set of crumbling stone steps, the simple yet elegant San Antonio Church stands in stark contrast to the fanciful Metropolitan Cathedral just a few blocks east. Perched on a small hill in Cali’s historic old town, the church boasts an atmospheric location, surrounded by tree-lined gardens and looking out over the lively bohemian district of San Antonio.
This is Cali’s oldest church, having opened its doors back in 1747 and today housing a museum of art and artifacts, most notably a collection of tallas quiteñas, 17th-century wooden statues of the saints, carved by artists of the Quito School.
This digitally altered artwork is derived from a photograph taken July 18/15 in Cali, Ecuador, South America nestled in the Valle de Cauca in the Andes Mountains.
