Die Kirche ist die am reichhaltigsten verzierte in Quito. Sie gilt als eines der bedeutendsten Bauwerke der spanischen Barockarchitektur in Amerika und als die schönste Kirche in ganz Ecuador.

Español: Altar mayor de la iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús, una iglesia jesuita situada en el centro de Quito, Ecuador. El exterior del templo no deja entrever la belleza de su interior, con una larga nave central, decorada de forma exquisita conpan de oro, yeso dorado y trabajos de madera, lo que la hace la iglesia más ornamental de Quito. El templo es uno de los ejemplos más destacados arquitectura barroca española en América y está considerada la más hermosa de Ecuador.

Português: Altar principal da Igreja da Companhia de Jesus (Iglesia de la Compañía), uma igreja jesuíta em Quito, Equador. O exterior do templo não dá ideia da beleza de seu interior, com uma grande nave central, que é profusamente decorada com folhas de ouro, gesso dourado e entalhes de madeira, fazendo dela a igreja mais ornamentada de Quito. O templo é uma das obras mais significativas da arquitetura barroca espanhola na América e considerada a mais bela igreja do Equador. Македонски: Главниот олтар на Исусовската црква во Кито, Еквадор. Русский: Барочный интерьер иезуитской церкви в Кито (XVII—XVIII вв.). Українська: Головний алтар Церкви спільноти Ісуса, єзуїтської церкви в Кіто, Еквадор. Церква має великий центральний неф, який рясно прикрашений сусальним золотом, позолотою та різьбленням по дереву, що робить цю церкву найприкрашенішою в Кіто. Ця церква є одним з найвидатніших зразків іспанської бароккової архітектури. 한국어: 에콰도르 키토의 예수회 교회 (La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús)의 주요 제대. 교회 내부는 대형의 신랑이 금박과 나무 조각으로 풍부하게 장식되어 키토에서 가장 화려하게 장식된 교회가 되었다. 아메리카 대륙에서 이 교회는 스페인 바로크 양식으로 지어진 중요한 작품 중 하나이며, 에콰도르에서 가장 아름다운 교회로 여겨지고 있다. 中文: 位于厄瓜多基多的耶稣会教堂 (La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús) 的主坛。光从外面观看其实没办法得知内部美丽的装饰，里面有占地相当大，由金箔、贴金石膏和木雕装饰的中殿，造就这座基多最华丽的教堂。耶稣会教堂是相当典型的美洲西班牙巴洛克风格建筑之一，同时也厄瓜多最美丽的教堂。 中文（繁體）‎: 位於厄瓜多基多的耶穌會教堂 (La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús) 的主壇。光從外面觀看其實沒辦法得知內部美麗的裝飾，裡面有佔地相當大，由金箔、貼金石膏和木雕裝飾的中殿，造就這座基多最華麗的教堂。耶穌會教堂是相當典型的美洲西班牙巴洛克風格建築之一，同時也厄瓜多最美麗的教堂。
