2. Monument to the Equator

Although Quito is not the only city lying on the equator, its Mitad del Mundo (Middle of the World) Monument reminds us that it is certainly the most famous. This monument marks the spot where a French explorer calculated the line of the equator in 1736, splitting the city between the earth’s two hemispheres. Take this unique opportunity to visit the 30-metre (98-foot) monument and stand with one foot in either half of the world.

Since the 16th century, the cathedral has survived major earthquakes in 1660 and 1797. Its diverse styles are due to the reconstructions that followed these damaging years.
