About La Mariscal
Where to stay in La Mariscal
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Beds cluster around the museums. La Mariscal fills a stretch of Quito where the National Museum of Ecuador and the Coliseo General Rumiñahui sit within the same set of streets, which makes the district a compact base for anyone whose days run through those two doors. Puerta de La Circasiana marks one rim.
The Church of Santa Teresita and the Church of Santa Clara de San Millán both stand inside the district, and named houses such as Casa Speck and Residencia Zaldumbide sit on the same streets.
About La Mariscal
What are the main landmarks in La Mariscal?
Museums and churches share the ground. The National Museum of Ecuador and the Coliseo General Rumiñahui head the list, while the Church of Santa Teresita and the Church of Santa Clara de San Millán give La Mariscal two places of worship of its own. Abya Yala is entered here as well.
Smaller names fill out the register: Hotel Húngaro, Casa Speck, the Kohn Residence and the Fish Residence, with Puerta de La Circasiana at the district's rim.
What is the history of La Mariscal?
The record is thin on dates. No founding year attaches to La Mariscal, and what stands in its place is a list of named buildings, Casa Speck, Residencia Zaldumbide, the Kohn Residence, the Fish Residence and Hotel Húngaro, each entered under its own name. Mariscal Sucre is the fuller form.
The Church of Santa Clara de San Millán and the Church of Santa Teresita are the two churches the same register carries, and Puerta de La Circasiana is entered beside them.
Where is La Mariscal?
La Mariscal sits within Quito, holding the National Museum of Ecuador and the Coliseo General Rumiñahui inside one set of streets.
