Church of San Blas
Iglesia de San Blas
A stone Latin-cross church at the eastern end of the old town, facing San Sebastián at the western end; together they marked the east–west limits of the colonial city.
The surviving church was built in the early 20th century and is the only Latin-cross church in Cuenca. Its façade is made of pink marble. A small park in front is where locals relax. In the colonial era, San Blas and San Sebastián marked the eastern and western ends of the Spanish city. The walk between them along Simón Bolívar Avenue takes about 20 minutes and links the whole historic centre.
