Info The Church of the Society of Jesus (La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús) is a Jesuit church in Quito, Ecuador. The exterior doesn't give an idea of the beauty of the interior, with a large central nave, which is profusely decorated with gold leaf, gilded plaster and wood carvings, making of it the most ornate church in Quito. The temple is one of the most significant works of Spanish Baroque architecture in America and considered the most beautiful church in Ecuador. The pipe organ is located in the choir, over the main entrance, and is the second biggest pipe organ in Quito that is still working. The piece, used in special festivities, was built in the United States in 1889 and has 1104 tubes in total. Note: high quality images of this temple are rare as photograhs are strictly prohibited without a special permission of the authorities. All by me, Poc o² 10:27, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support strongly. I know perfection is not of this world, but you are not very far from it, my friend. That's a big wow, if I may say. --Jebulon (talk) 10:57, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
wow, coming from you, thank you! I've to say that I explictly performed this picture following the comments (of Benh and yours) of this other nomination. Commons does help! a lot! :) Poc o² 11:02, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Isn't the ceiling a bit overexposed? But anyway, as Jebulon says. Yann (talk) 11:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Great details. --Laitche (talk) 11:15, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support Excellent job... the more so as it is not that easy to take pictures in that church. Poco will understand me :-) --Cayambe (talk) 13:19, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cayambe: As I stated above, and you remember, you usually cannot take any pictures in that church. I had to do some paperwork and convince some people to be able to use my camera. Poc o² 13:40, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry, I hadn't read your note above, having just looked at the image.--Cayambe (talk) 13:52, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Active corruption ?

What was the price ?--Jebulon (talk) 15:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing wild, as said, paperwork and a friend of mine who is local and very persuasive :) Poc o² 16:43, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Passive corruption then.--Jebulon (talk) 20:03, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
