Fully illustrated guide to architecture of the city of Quito and vicinity is not restricted to buildings dating from Spanish colonial period. Provides essential information for each building, including location, date, name of architect or architects (if known), and present function. Additional texts for each entry focus primarily on description and historical data. Useful urban plans facilitate location of buildings within their respective districts.
