 The beautiful church of señor de las flores is located in the parish of Bayas, on the slopes of Cerro Abuga, in the city of Azogues. This beautiful church is built on the vestiges of the Cañari people mixing two world services. This church is built entirely with stone from the Abuga hill, its roof is made of tiles, and its style is neoclassical. This church is the first Christian construction in the region to counteract the cult of the Cañaris.

Something about the history of this beautiful place is that At the beginning of the Colony, the Peleusí Encomienda belonged to the Spaniard Don Rodrigo Núñez de Bonilla. After a few years, the commission became a Doctrine, with the qualifier ¨Seat of the Spanish people¨. Then ¨bayas¨ rose to the category of civil parish and then to an ecclesiastical parish. Its first parish priest, Father Rafael Alfonso Tapia C. established his first headquarters in the church of Señor de las Flores; Later, he ordered the construction of the chapel and more catechetical and pastoral services in the center of the town ("Iglesia señor de Flores," n.d.).
