What To Expect

The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi

Santa Fe means “holy faith” and in 1610 the first church was built on this site and replaced by a larger one in 1630, which was then destroyed following the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. There are 20 bronze plaques on the church doors that depict the history of NM since 1539.

Sena Plaza

Wonderful destination of Santa Fe. It is one of the oldest and most authentic buildings in all of the city.

San Miguel Chapel

The Mission was built between 1610 and 1628, the Church was partially destroyed during the 1680 Revolt and rebuilt in 1710 with numerous restorations over the years. Inside beam dates 1710, altar screen and area show oldest portions and next door is the early St. Michael’s College.

The Oldest House

The current dwelling rests on part of the foundation of an ancient Indian Pueblo dating from around 1200CE. Primarily early Spanish dwelling clearly shows the original architecture and outside walls show excellent examples of adobe, “Cities of Gold” story.

New Mexico State Capitol (Roundhouse)

Our tour guide here in Santa Fe was outstanding. He provided a great overview of the City and the Pueblo culture. I highly recommend him (Tom Gallegos) and do this on your 1st day in Santa Fe. It truly gives you all of the insight to know where to shop, eat, sightsee and have drinks! The only negative is that the Tour Provider (Viator) changed the location as to where we were supposed to meet. They told the guide but not us! Made for confusion…..

We loved seeing the churches and hearing the history It seemed like the guide was taking us in stores that maybe he would get a kickback on any sales we made. No proof of this, just a feeling He personally and ours just didn’t gel

Weather was cool. Best time to do this. Summer would be too hot Santa Fe is magical. Loved the most the lane in front of the “Inn of the five graces”. Great history and stories shared. Would have preferred to stay Mostly around the plaza vs the government buildings.
