Plaza de la Independencia基多市的中央广场,不算很大,也不是空荡荡、一眼望尽那种,而是一个公园,中间有一个独立英雄纪念碑,周围有很多树木和长櫈,很多本地人在休闲坐著。它的一边是Palacio de Carondelet。厄瓜多尔独立以来的总统都在这里办公,广场另一边是Catedral Metropolitana de Quito是厄瓜多尔的主教座堂。翱翔的大鲨鱼

Independencia Square is the center of Quito City. Around this square square, there are buildings full of artistic features of the late Italian Renaissance. Most of these buildings are two storeys with stone gates intricately carved. The Catholic Church at the southern end of the square, built in 1550 and completed in the 18th century, has a green tile dome and a gray and white column supporting the porch. It is a mixture of Arabic, Persian and Moorish architectural styles. The name of the founder of Quito City is inlaid with gold leaves on the outer wall, and there is the tomb of General Sucre in the courtyard. Opposite the church is the main palace, and the northwest corner of the square is the majestic government palace.
