Introduction:
Ancient traditions from Quito
The legend constitutes single one of the possibilities of communication through the traditional linguistic messages, since these include/understand many forms, different from expression, romances, songs, the own legend and others. Quito is one long history of stories, legend, and an oral culture that is transmitted of generation to generation.From the same origin of its name, Quito is done of uncertainties, mysteries that hide behind their streets. The history of Exempt account with personages who made legend that became real facts, by force of as much counting them.
This it is a space in tribute to the old Quito, to which they taught to love our grandparents to us, the Quito that recognizes it when it is walked by the Great Seat andthat it is appraised in his entire splendor from the Roll.
The legend is created improbable histories through the time by the popular talent, in which a little folklore is reflected, myths and customs of a town.
The Ecuadorian legend in their majority has their origin at time of the Spanish conquest. It is born of anecdotes and experiences of famous personages of that time that to the beingtransmitted of one to another person the popular talent is leaving its tracks until turning it a somewhat real and somewhat fictitious history.

But however today most of us we see the television almost all the day, we heard to all volume last hit of Coldplay or in other cases of Daddy Yankee and we do not put ourselves to think awhile about that we are and of our culture. For that reason it is that this investigation is for the young people, so that they realizecultural wealth great who we have, and who young, young, adolescent, adult we, all must feel pride of those who we are. It is why I speak of Old Quito, that Quito that makes see a fantastic side you that it occurs almost always by the nights, that Quito that by means of its legend its history tells, in aim that Quito that never had to disappear.
Churches
One of characteristics of Quito is theappraisal of his Churches; in Quito several Churches can be appreciated with a great proximity the one with other one, nevertheless it is possible to see the great difference in his architectural type, which goes from the baroque up to the Gothic neo, here are some examples.

Monastery of San Francisco
Walking from the old town's narrow colonial streets into the open Plaza San Francisco revealsone of the finest sights in all of Ecuador - a sweeping cobblestone plaza backed by the long whitewashed walls and twin bell towers of Ecuador's oldest church, the Monastery of San Francisco. With its giant plaza and its mountainous backdrop of Pichincha’s Volcano this is surely one of Quito's highlights.
Construction of the monastery began only a few weeks after the founding of Quito in 1534,...
