V!VA User‘s Description
Founded in 1548 by Alonso de Mercadillo, Loja is somewhat of a political and cultural island, surrounded by mountains and stranded at the far southern end of Ecuador. Besides being the provincial capital, Loja warrants recognition as the first city in Ecuador to generate electricity (1897). Today, it is an intellectually and architecturally unique city, boasting two universities set among a peculiar mix of urban concrete and colonial structures.
