Beautiful rustic chapel. Especially interesting if you like adobe architecture. No tickets needed.

Extremely interesting visit to this era 1610 chapel in Santa Fe. The docents were very well versed in the history of the chapel. Well worth a visit.

The historic San Miguel chapel, located in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a stunning example of Spanish colonial architecture and one of the oldest churches in the United States. A must see if you visit Santa Fe.

What very piece of history that is still around , the history behind this chapel is a worth looking into. The director of this place I didn't catch her name but as people waited to go inside and she open the doors she gave a small presentation about the call it was amazing to hear. Glad I stopped by

Architecturally, sedate. The original chapel is early 17th century, with repairs and additions added throughout the centuries. The reredos dates to 1798, although it has undergone many alterations and additions. It was a ‘slow’ day when I visited, yet the exhibit space and the narthex area were a bit crowded due to the diminutive size of the chapel. The story about the indigenous laborers who built the original chapel is ambiguous: slave labor or not? The site upon which the chapel was built was an important site to the indigenous Puebloans.

Beautiful old church with so much history. The space felt sacred. Be sure to ring the bell!

Very beautiful adobe walls. You can feel the history as you walk through the chapel towards the altar. Do not forget to ring the bell to ensure you visit in the future!!
