Santa Fe: San Miguel Mission

editorial review

Enter through the gift shop to experience what's probably not quite the oldest church in the USA, as the folks down in Acoma will explain. Still, the adobe walls of San Miguel Mission have watched Santa Fe grow since 1610. Tlaxcalan Indian servants brought here by Fray Alonso de Benavidez constructed the church atop even older Native structures; this is also where, according to legend, the 1680 Pueblo Revolt began with the burning of the mission's original patron saint, San Miguel. Artistic treasures abound, including the 17th-century statue of St Michael, but the most famous artifact is the almost 800-pound San Jose Bell, cast in the 14th century in Andalusia, Spain.
