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.
