It is the capital of the northern territory of the Inca Empire. The city construction is cleverly integrated with the natural environment. It was listed as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage by UNESCO in 1979. It is a very beautiful place!

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The new church is located in Cuenca, Ecuador. It was built in 1885 and is a well-known local religious building. The whole is a neo-Gothic architectural style. The blue and white dome is very beautiful, making it a landmark of Cuenca. Marble and alabaster are used for the exterior of the church, and the pink marble on the floor was brought from the Italian city of Carrara. The flat-roofed tower is said to be the result of a miscalculation by the architect. If the full planned height of the spire was built, the church foundation would not be able to support the weight.

Cuenca's New Cathedral, although called the New Cathedral, actually has a history of more than 300 years. The interior design of the church is very luxurious, with a semicircular dome with exquisite murals and skylights. The sculptures inside are also very delicate. Outside the church is a square with many people coming and going, which is very lively.
This cathedral is huge. Beautiful. A good way to get to know the culture of Cuenca is to go to the cathedral on a Sunday morning and see how crowded the services are. The history of the building is also interesting: it was built by a foreigner who never finished it. I recommend going to the rooftop!
