Description

The Church of San Francisco de Cuenca is located at the corner of Presidente Córdova and Padre Aguirre in the parish of Gil Ramírez Dávalos.
The Franciscans came with the foundation of Cuenca and were originally located in the place where the current church is.
The Spanish settlement of Cuenca was founded on April 12, 1557 by the explorer Gil Ramírez Dávalos. Andrés Hurtado de Mendoza, then Viceroy of Peru had commissioned the founding and ordered the city named after his home town of Cuenca, Spain.
The naves of Iglesia San Francisco were reconstructed at the end of the last century and the tower was finished in 1930. This church is one of the most important in the city and sits beside San Francisco plaza which has a great mercado for buying primarily clothing.
This digitally altered artwork is derived from my photograph taken April 20/10 in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America nestled in the Andes Mountains.
Cuenca is a World Heritage Site.
