Church of Santo Domingo of Loja, Ecuador
Built in 1557, the Church of Santo Domingo was badly damaged in 1867, destroying its Gothic facade and leaving only its twin spires standing. The rebuilding of the church was done in the colonial style popular at the time, with the twin spires being incorporated into the design. Thanks to Moria.
