Capital of Loja province in southern Ecuador; population (2001) 118,500. The town lies close the international border with Peru, which was adjusted in 1942. Sub-tropical agriculture, such as the growing of chinchona (the base for quinine) and stock-raising are the principal economic activities.

Loja has been rebuilt twice after earthquakes, the last of which occurred in the 1880s.
