San Miguel Mission, Santa Fe


Santa Fe means “Holy Faith” in Spanish. Santa Fe is the oldest state capital city in the U. S. Built in the early days of Spanish colonization, around 1610, San Miguel Mission is considered by many to be the oldest mission in the U.S. It was burned and then rebuilt in 1710. In Spanish Colonial times, this was the church of the working people in the Barrio de Analco. Today this church contains many fine examples of historic Hispanic religious art.
