San Francisco de Assisi Mission Church

This National Historic Landmark was build between 1772 and 1816. It is a large sculpted Spanish Colonial church with massive adobe buttresses and two front-facing bell towers....an impressive blend of native and Spanish styles. The unique architecture of the building is kept well preserved by is parishioners who re-mud the church each spring.

This structure is the most photographed and painted church in the country....Georgia O'Keeffe helped to make it famous by painting it from all angles and times of the day! However, the church is more than a tourist destination, it remains an important center of community life with an active parish offering regular masses and festivals.

The church is open to visitors year-round. So if you want to see a piece of amazing history, stop by and see the San Francisco de Assisi Mission Church located just south of Taos in the quaint village of Ranchos de Taos.
