Metropolitan Cultural Center (Spanish: Centro Cultural Metropolitano) is a cultural institution based in Quito, Ecuador. It was established in 1997 in a building which dates to 1622.
This building belongs to the colonial epoch, but its facade was rebuilt in the 20th century with a neo-classic style. The First Central University was in this building. It also was a jail where Spanish authorities executed insurgents during the Ecuadorian War of Independence.[1]
