La Compania de Jesus is often called the most beautiful church in Ecuador. Seven tons of gold supposedly ended up on the ceiling, walls, and altars of La Compania de Jesus, which was built by the Jesuits between 1605 and 1650. The Church of The Compania of Jesus in Quito has been catalogued by UNESCO among the hundred most important World Heritage Site Monuments in the world.
