<p>MaxSW: expand; Quito is a beautiful city!</p> <hr /> <div>'''Quito''' is the [[capital]] city of [[Ecuador]], [[Peru]]. It is located at 9,350 feet above [[sea level]]. It has a population of approximately 800,000.<br /> <br /> Quito historically was one of the capital cities of the [[Inca]]s, second only in importance to [[Cuzco]]. A few Inca ruins are still tangible in Quito today, although most of them were razed by the [[Spaniards]] during the Spanish ''conquisto'' of 1548 pp. The city center in particular is especially well-preserved, including many fine examples of (Spanish) Restoration architecture such as the [[Cathedral of Quito]] and the Basilica of the National Vow, both [[Roman Catholic]] edifices. In 1978, Quito was one of the first cities named as a UNICEF World Heritage Site.<br /> <br /> Today, Quito is home to more than 800,000 people, including about 100,000 indigenous Ecuadorians, or ''[[Quechua]]''. Most of its population is [[Roman Catholic]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Capital Cities]]<br /> [[Category:Ecuador]]<br /> [[Category:South American Cities and Towns]]</div>
