A monument complex north of Quito marking the equatorial line calculated by the 18th-century French Geodesic Mission, crowned by a 30-meter trapezoidal tower. Visitors straddle the painted line, tour the ethnographic museum inside the monument, and compare readings at the nearby Intiñan museum where GPS places the true equator.
