The 9 Best Churches & Cathedrals in Guayaquil, Guayas Province
Founded in the 1530s, Ecuador's largest city and main port is the top access point for Galapagos cruises and home to a bustling import-export business. Tourism is on the rise as well, thanks to a new international airport and urban renewal projects along the River Guayas promenade and in the historic neighborhood of Las Peñas. The 465-step climb to the top of Santa Ana Hill provides sweeping views and a chance to stand on the site of the city's birthplace.

This beautiful Catholic church located on Calle Chimborazo across from the famous Seminario (Iguana) Park is a rebuild (between 1924 and 1937) after the original church, made of wood, burned down in 1892. The rebuild, in neo gothic style, was carried out by Italian artisans using local marble. The incredible marble flooring was somewhat empty of seating (being cleaned) the day I visited so to see it in all its glory was spectacular. Then there are the many beautiful stained glass windows. There during the afternoon, there were people coming and going to pray in the small side chapels.
