SO MUCH GOLD
It's amazing, the whole church is filled with it, all of it real. In the 1500s spaniards invaded Ecuador, and massacred around 7000 of Atalupe's (incan leader) troops. They then kidnapped Atalupe. He finally figured out what the Spaniards wanted, and in return for his release he gave them 6 TONS of gold, and 12 TONS of silver!!!!!! He was never released, they killed him anyway.
Most of the gold went back to spain to repay debt, but some of it was used to decorate the interior of Ecuadors churches.
