What the experts agree on
Guayaquil's oldest church, founded by Franciscans in 1548 and rebuilt after pirate destruction. This simple colonial structure offers a glimpse into the city's earliest religious history.
“Behind the open-air Teatro Bogotá is the oldest church in Guayaquil. Founded in 1548 and restored in 1938, it’s worth a look.”
