Lonely Planet review

The 18th-century Arco de la Reina , a massive arch built in the 18th century to give shelter to churchgoers, spans García Moreno. On one side, the Museo de la Ciudad occupies the beautifully restored San Juan de Dios hospital. On the other side of the arch stands the Monasterio de Carmen Alto (cnr García Moreno & Rocafuerte), a fully functioning convent.
