Ancient Ruins: Todos los Santos

Just off of the Calle Larga in Cuenca, I came upon the ruins of Todos los Santos, a small but impressive complex of Inca ruins up the hill from the Rio Tomebamba. These ruins were not discovered until 1970, when excavation work for the foundation of a new building uncovered the ancient walls. The work of Cañaris, Incas, and Spanish is all represented here, giving the site a unique history.
