Highlight • Religious Site

Between 1869 and 1886, the later Archbishop Jean Baptiste Lamy built the new cathedral around the old church in place of the adobe church La Parroquia built in 1714-1717, which was demolished after the new building was completed. A small chapel on the north side of the cathedral has been preserved from the old church. The cathedral was designed under the influence of the French-born Archbishop Lamy and in dramatic contrast to the surrounding adobe buildings in Romanesque Revival style.
The cathedral was inaugurated by Pope Benedict XVI on October 4, 2005. officially elevated to the status of a basilica and designated the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi.

Santa Fe Plaza

Highlight • Historical Site

The old town of Santa Fe is full of charm. It has kept its authenticity with its old center made of adobe houses. It is a city where you will find many art galleries, but also exceptional and unique museums like the Mocna (Museum of Contemporary Native Art) as well as many sculptures in the streets. This part of the original city revolves around the Santa Fe Plaza, where many artists sell their crafts on the ground.

The Mocna is just opposite the church dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi. For more information see their website: iaia.edu/mocna
