- heyjudithzKnoxville, TN1,459 contributionsKnown to locals as the Crystal Palace, the cultural center is made of glass, steel, and zinc, and is situated in such a way as to not need lighting during the day. Originally the Santa Clara Market, it was moved to its present location in pieces, after having been in use elsewhere in Quito since 1920. Building components were imported from Hamburg, Germany. It houses meeting and event space. Even if you aren't going there to experience an event, it is worth seeing. It sits atop the hill of Itchimbia, the site of an aboriginal settlement, dedicated to the worship of the gods, with emphasis on Inti.Written April 8, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pfefmeisterSan Francisco, CA4,367 contributionsWe thought this to be the best store to shop for Ecuador handicrafts. They have a large selection with not too expensive prices. I ended up getting my Panama hat here, good quality for $80, after comparing at other stores. My wife also filled out her suitcase with more souvenirs. Maybe 4 blocks from Plaza Foch down Moreno towards Old Town.Written February 5, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SofÃa J6 contributionsI believe it is a spot not to be missed if you plan a long stay in Quito and you need a place to work for some hours and eat lunch or have some coffee (the cafeteria offers great local dishes). Also if you feel comfortable speaking Spanish and wish to take a class or two during your stay (they have yoga and dancing classes, and even a photography laboratory where you can develop your photos). Also, they program many different performances such as plays and concerts. If you stay in the city only for a few days, you might not be able to go to one, but it would still be a great spot to look for arts books and enjoy a good coffee with bolón de verde.Written March 5, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ODCeusWashington DC, DC108 contributionsFunny, creative styles. Original artwork. Graphic prints on t-shirts, bookmarks, stickers, magnets, post cards, etc. Combines historical Quechua and Spanish cultural influences with urban influences for unique, fresh results. Gift boxes are folded card stock that unfolds into a poster that includes more art - great presentation for a gift! Staff were helpful - enthusiastic but not at all pushy. Then when I asked it came out that one was the artist.Written July 16, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lourdes PQuito, Ecuador31 contributionsNelson Román is an extraordinary ecuadorian artist. His paintings are unique pieces exploding with color and mysticism. You can visit the gallery upstairs Casa Santa Bárabara and meet him personally. He will give you a tour of his "Taller" and later on you can visit the Ojo del Jaguar Boutique. Here you can find objects to take home that will remind you of the very special experience which is to meet such an amazing artist and his work in person.Written March 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hana M10 contributionsNot only is the collection of art awesome, but the service is phenomenal. Alvaro, the owner, went above and beyond in helping us.
We had stopped in the shop while we were in Quito and fell in love with Eduardo Vega's work. We had 2 weeks of travel ahead of us so Alvaro allowed me to hold my pieces in the shop after I'd bought them- I returned to pick them up on my way out of the country. He also offered international shipping to my friend, and sent out the art the next day.
All the ceramic pieces were packed so well that they made it back to the US and Canada in perfect condition.
Very happy we had a chance to visit this gallery. My new vases are so beautiful and serve as a perfect reminder of my awesome trip :)
Support local artists and support this great shop!

The wool clothing was especially nice.
The cafe next door was very good. And the bakery directly across the square offered delicious pastries with upstairs seating looking out at the church.Written May 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
