Description
This unusual, asymmetrical church with one tower on its right side instead of two, stands out from the other churches of more classical structure, even though it is one of the oldest churches in Cuenca.
Miguel Leon square, better known as San Sebastian due to the church located right beside it, which was one of the two “Indian Parishes” (places were indigenous people gathered for their religious services) of the colonial city. The geometrical layout of the plaza belongs to the beginning of the XX century and was done by Octavio Cordero Palacios, teacher, playwright, lawyer and mathematician born in Cuenca. The design of renaissance style is based on the Versailles gardens done by landscaper André Le Notre.
During a popular uprising caused by a bullfight organized in this square, Juan Seniergues, doctor of the First Geodesic French Mission, was sadly killed in August 1739 at the hands of the populace infuriated apparently by his affair with the cuencana Manuela Quezada.
This digitally altered artwork is derived from my photograph taken June 16/16 in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America nestled in the Andes Mountains.
Cuenca is a World Heritage Site. Final processing done with Smart Photo Editor.
