Quaint chapel with informative and helpful guides. A cello player was there playing live calming music. At the railing, you can look over and see the 1610 foundation.

San Miguel Chapel, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, holds the distinction of being the oldest church in the continental United States, with origins traced back to oral traditions suggesting construction around 1610. Set within the historic Barrio de Analco, this adobe church has served various functions throughout its 400-year history, adapting to the diverse needs of its community, from a place of worship to a venue for cultural gatherings.
The chapel's historical relevance is underlined by its construction by Tlaxcalan Indians under Franciscan guidance, and it has withstood numerous challenges, including damage from the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. Efforts to preserve this cherished landmark require ongoing vigilance and the use of culturally authentic materials, ensuring that it remains a vital part of Santa Fe's heritage for future generations.
