San Luis Seminary opens terrace as Cuenca's newest tourist attraction

The front terrace of the San Luis Seminary has been opened to the public as a new tourist attraction. Its restoration took one month.

The Archdiocese of Cuenca waited 20 years to open the front terrace of the "San Luis" Seminary to the public. This space in the heritage property becomes a new attraction of the Historic Center.

The Archdiocese invested resources to restore the balcony due to its privileged location facing Benigno Malo Street. It is approximately 60 meters long by six meters wide with a slight slope in the floor to drain rainwater.

As a visitor you can access the terrace through a narrow spiral wooden staircase. From the terrace you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the urban area. You'll be able to see the domes of the New Cathedral, Parque Calderón, the buildings of the Municipality of Cuenca, and the Azuay Governor's Office.
