This ancient Cañari and Inca settlement, which was later dismantled by the Spanish conquistadors to build their new city, houses a large collection of ethnographic items from the region.

Museo de las Conceptas

One of the city’s favorite museums, now housing an important collection of religious art that includes Christs, Virgins, nativity scenes, and altarpieces along with the tools that were part of the everyday life of the group of religious women who made the convent their home.

The Remigio Crespo Museum is a heritage property that now houses important historical, artistic collections, as well as the city’s Historical Archive.
