Main Cloister Garden of the Convent of San Francisco

Laid out in the 16th c., this quadrangular garden served as the contemplative heart of the Franciscan convent in Quito. Palm trees soar over geometric boxwood paths and a central fountain, reflecting the fusion of European monastic design with Andean landscape. A living metaphor of Eden, it nourished both body and spirit.
