Description
Claiming to be the oldest church in America, the San Miguel Chapel was built between 1610 and 1625. Beautiful ornaments and paintings adorn the interior, along with a Spanish bell cast in 1356.
Although damaged in the Pueblo Revolt in 1680, the thick adobe walls were not harmed. After the chapel was rebuilt in 1710, stone buttresses were added to strengthen the structure. One of the classic Spanish styled churches, San Miguel is part of a remarkable Santa Fe plaza.
