Surrounded by mountains, traversed by four rivers, and home to beautiful 14th- and 15th- century architecture as well as having been an important centre for the Incas, it surprised nobody when Cuenca was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In the Old Town, you will find Parque Calderón and other colonial parks and plazas, neighbourhoods that date back to the first days of the Spanish conquest of the area, and religious art museums showcasing some of Ecuador’s most impressive artwork. The most impressive of the city’s many museums are as follows: Banco Central, Casa de la Cultura, Conceptas Convent, Remigio Crespo Toral, Artes Populares de América, Arte Moderno, and Instituto Azuayo de Folclore. As a result of its rich cultural heritage Cuenca was chosen as the Cultural Capital of the Americas in 2002
