La Ronda Street, Historic street in Old Town, Quito, Ecuador
La Ronda Street extends through the southern part of Old Town Quito with stone-paved paths and colonial buildings featuring wooden balconies decorated with flowers.
The street originated as an Indigenous path along Ullaguanga creek before Spanish colonizers transformed it into a residential area during the 16th century.
Local artisans maintain workshops in restored colonial houses, producing traditional crafts such as metalwork, woodcarving, and textile weaving throughout the street.
The street connects to public transportation hubs at Venezuela Street and Pedro Vicente Maldonado Avenue, with regular service from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
Casa de las Artes museum on La Ronda displays contemporary Quiteño art collections and historical domestic life exhibits without charging entrance fees.
