Work on the Church of the Society of Jesus (Spanish: La Iglesia de la Compañia de Jesus) in Quito, Ecuador started in 1605 and the church was completed in 1765. Unfortunate, no photographs were allowed of its intensely ornate carved interior that is covered in gold. AIMG 0534

Although a bit off the beaten path, this Synagogue is in walking distance from the main attractions of Florence Italy and is well worth the effort. It was built between 1874 and 1882 and its exterior and stunning interior reflect the Sephardic style of Moorish Spain. It survived the German attempt to destroy it during World War II. AIMG_3076
