This wonderful landmark is a tribute to the colonial history of Santa Fe. The church wasn't open when we visited, but just walking around the outside gives you a sense of the history of this place. Well worth stopping if you're out and about.

Beautiful altarpiece in New Mexico style. Masses are still held here, including a 2pm Latin Mass and a 5pm Sunday Mass. Parishioners are very friendly. There is a gift shop that closes early in the afternoon. I did not find a wheelchair accessible ramp, and paid parking is about a block away. I was unable to locate any other parking. If there had been free accessible parking nearby I would have given this church top ratings.

Downtown Santa Fe. Walking distance from the Plaza and other historic sites and the visitor center. Beautiful exterior and interior. Worth the visit.

Definitely worth a visit while near the Old Santa Fe Trail. Said to be the oldest church in the US, it is of course replete with history. Simply adorable inside.

However, one could still appreciate the preservation of this church considered to be the oldest in the United States. We will make a point of revisiting when it is open to get an appreciation for the interior and the history.

It is a little out of the way, but worth the walk to see the bell. The mission is considered to be the oldest church in the US (1610). The bell dates back to 1365.

I was there as a tourist but stumbled in on a mass. My friends and I stayed and felt renewed. Lovely environment and lovely a capella singing.

Constructed in the early 1600s, this is probably the oldest building that I have seen. The original adobe walls still stand with some reconstruction over the years. The bell inside the chapel is majestic and soothing to hear it ring. Entry fee is $1 per person. The reading material gives a good context of what the various paintings and sculptures are about. We had a good time here.

The altar and bell remind you of the age and history of this beautifully preserved site. Donate a dollar and visit this lovely church.

Walking behind the mission you will find the oldest house in Santa Fe as well. It gives you a sense of what it was like so very long ago.
