Quito
City (pop., 1997 est.: 1,488,00), capital of Ecuador. Situated on the lower slopes of the Pichincha, a volcano that last erupted in 1666, it lies in a narrow Andean valley at an altitude of 9,350 ft (2,850 m). A pre-Columbian town, it was captured by the Incas in 1487 and taken by the Spanish in 1534. It is the oldest of all S. Amer. capitals and preserves much of its colonial atmosphere. In 1535 the Franciscans established an art school there, the first of its kind in S. America. One of Ecuador's two major industrial centers, it produces textiles and light consumer goods. It is the site of several institutions of higher learning.
