This legend not only gives us an explanation about the construction of the church, but also an important lesson about keeping promises.
Legend has it that Cantuña was a famous indigenous builder and direct descendant of the great warrior Rumiñahui.
The Franciscan fathers entrusted him with the great task of building an atrium for a church in Quito known as the Church of San Francisco. The pay was considerable, but he had to complete it within six months, otherwise they would not pay him anything.
When Cantuña saw that the deadline was coming to an end, and the work was not finished because the work was not easy at all, his desperation invaded him, and his suffering reached the ears of the Devil.
