| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| El Panecillo is a small hill, between south and central Quito. The The virgin on the top of the hill stands on a globe and stepping on a snake. so traditional is that she has wings. It's one of the very few madonna with angel wings. The monument, was inspired on the famous "Virgen de Quito" sculpted by Bernardo de Legarda in 1734, which can be seen now at the church of San Fransisco in the old town of Quito. |
