Housed in the UNESCO-recognized 16th-century building that once served as the San Juan de Dios Hospital, the Quito City Museum (Museo de la Ciudad) has been a cultural hub in the heart of Quito’s historic center for over two decades. The museum offers a rich tapestry of dioramas, artifacts, and interactive exhibits that trace the history of both the city and the hospital. Visitors can explore the well-preserved colonial architecture and immerse themselves in the stories and experiences that have shaped Quito over the centuries.
