I live there and I love going to the temple

Example of brutalist architecture signed by Milton Barragan. Indispensable appointment for the lovers of the heritage of the modern movement and of the architecture in general. Spectacular views of Quito and a superior garden that supposes a spatial and conceptual experience of difficult paragon. The museum is nothing of the other world, but the building is enough excuse to climb up to this point of the mountain.

On the southwestern slope of the Pichincha Volcano, known as Cima de la Libertad at 3100 meters above sea level, the monumental architectural work “Temple of the Fatherland” is located, a site museum where on May 24, 1822, the fighters of the Quiteña Nation and the brothers of other peoples of America, commands for Grand Marshal Antonio José de Sucre fought against foreign domination and won. Due to its location it also allows you to enjoy the natural and scenic surroundings of the Historic Center of Quito and a large part of the Avenue of the Volcanoes.

A place that can not be missed to learn more about homeland and independence.
