Centro Cultural Itchimbía, Cultural center and events venue on Itchimbía hill, Quito, Ecuador.
The Centro Cultural Itchimbía is a modernist building on a hilltop featuring exhibition halls, auditoriums, and outdoor spaces distributed across multiple levels. The facility offers parking, an Ecuadorian restaurant, and various exhibition areas for different types of events.
The building incorporates a restored early twentieth century metal roof structure from the Santa Clara market, which was relocated from Quito's Historic Center. This relocation demonstrates how Quito has integrated historical structures into new cultural spaces.
The center hosts rotating art exhibitions and music performances featuring Ecuadorian and international artists throughout the year. Workshops and events here bring together local and global creative perspectives.
The site is accessible by public transportation from central Quito and has parking on-site for visitors. Since it sits on a hillside with multiple levels, wearing comfortable shoes is recommended when exploring the various exhibition areas and outdoor spaces.
From its elevated position, visitors enjoy expansive views over Quito while exploring rotating art exhibitions. This combination of panoramic scenery and changing art programs makes each visit feel distinct.
