Description
On Calle Larga, Iglesia de Todos los Santos, or Church of All of the Saints, sits next to the Tomebamba River. The original building was the first church in Cuenca, but as the building began to decay in the past century Cuenca began a process of restoration.
The first temple was built in 1557 by order of Rodrigo Núñez de Bonilla and in 1924 was replaced by a new one after the placement of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the temple tower. The first Catholic mass was celebrated at the Todos Santos Church in 1540.
The Todos Santos complex is located in the heart of Cuenca, Ecuador, deep within the Tomebamba River Valley. It comprises the magnificent Church of Todos Santos (or the Church of All Saints), an adjacent nineteenth-century convent, a working garden, and small shops and eateries.
One of Cuenca’s historic crosses stands outside, one of several in the city.
This digitally altered artwork is derived from my photograph taken Sept 7/17 in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America nestled in the Andes Mountains.
Cuenca is a World Heritage Site.
