San Miguel Chapel, located in the historic Barrio de Analco in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is recognized as the oldest church in the continental United States, with origins tracing back to around 1610. This adobe structure has served multiple roles over its 400-year history, from a place of worship to a site for community gatherings, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of the area.

Under the guidance of Franciscan friars, the chapel's construction involved the labor of Tlaxcalan Indians, making it a unique symbol of the confluence of diverse cultures. Despite undergoing various reconstructions and restorations due to historical events, including the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, San Miguel Chapel continues to be a vital religious and cultural landmark in Santa Fe.

"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."
