Capilla del Hombre is the last masterpiece created by the indomitable Oswaldo Guayasamín. The building was completed posthumously due to his death during its construction. Guayasamín's work bore heavy traces of dark emotions like rage, oppression and rebellion. Like in his paintings of the Andean tribes, these are amply evident in the murals that decorate the building of Capilla. He meant this structure to be a tribute to human struggles the world over. An eternal flame burns in the building in honor of human rights. The structure itself is built of stone, spanning two levels, with a pyramid rising in the center. The museum next to it holds several exhibitions. A symbol of Latin American history and culture, Capilla del Hombre in Quito must be visited.
