San Sebastian Catholic Church- Latacunga
The church of San Sebastián de Latacunga has two characteristics that make it somewhat unique compared to other churches in the city. In the first place, it is not located in the central area of the urban area, and secondly, its wide square gives it a distinctive magnitude. The area of the church also included a piece of land one block long, adjacent to the cemetery area, all of this surrounded by rammed earth. A second natural event of magnitude, the Pelileo and Ambato earthquake of 1949, once again destroyed the church of San Sebastián. Its reconstruction did not involve the old walls and the original straw roof was changed for a tile one. The temple has a single nave in a north-south direction, parallel to the long wall that faces the square, and the fountain in the center has, in turn, a pair of medium-sized towers in the front part of the transept. over the door and the balcony. Formerly in the tower there was a set of bronze bells of regular size and a small one, for the service of the cult. Inside the temple there are ancient sculptures such as a Sacred Heart of Jesus carved by Caspicara.
