Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Monte Catequilla (also Kati-Killa) is an archaeological site in the Pomasqui Valley of Ecuador. Located in the Parish of San Antonio of Quito Canton in Pichincha Province, it has an elevation of 2,638 metres (8,655 ft) and is located on a mountaintop about 300 metres (980 ft) above valleys on either side. Attributed to the Pre-Columbian era Quitu-Cara culture, it was presumably used as an astronomical observatory even before the arrival of the Incas, and is the only prehispanic site in the Americas that is located precisely at the Earth's Equator.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

Catequilla (de “Kati Killa”, “el que sigue a la Luna”[1]​) es un sitio arqueológico[2]​ de procedencia preinca e inca ubicado en la Parroquia San Antonio, cerca de Quito, en la zona del valle de Pomasqui. Tiene una cota de 2638 metros sobre el nivel del mar.[3]​ Con una vista de 360° y suficiente profundidad de campo como para poder distinguir 25 pueblos antiguos en sus alrededores, se presume que era usado como un mirador,[4]​ observatorio astronómico[5]​ y bohío ceremonial[6]​ aun antes de la llegada de los Incas y, como hecho destacable, cabe mencionar que es la única construcción de origen prehispánico conocida ubicada en la línea ecuatorial, por lo cual, se dice que está en la Mitad del Mundo.
