Santa Fe now has three art centers: Downtown, Canyon Road and the recently developed Railyard Arts District. Home to a farmers’ market, Railyard is where a former Sears and old beer ware- houses have been transformed into high- ceiling galleries and exhibition space. Native American artisans sell their more traditional jewelry, leatherwork, and crafts every day under the shaded terrace of the 1610 Palace of the Governors, flanking one side of down- town’s treed and grassy central plaza. The adobe-walled building is now a his- tory museum and has the distinction of being the country’s oldest public build- ing in continuous use. Visitors frequent chic shops and pricey restaurants along downtown streets including the Old Santa Fe Trail, once part of the 900-mile route from
Missouri. Along the trail is one of the country’s oldest houses of worship, the San Miguel Mission Church. I step inside and feel the history here with its massive adobe walls and a 780-pound bell cast in Spain in 1356. Also on the trail is the Loretto Chapel, completed for the Sisters of Loretto and modeled after Paris’ stained-glass paneled Sainte-Chapelle. Now a museum, the chapel is famous for its central wooden staircase that winds upward to the choir loft. What’s unique is that the staircase, with 33 steps and two full 360-degree turns, has no central support. When the church was completed in 1878, as the story goes, the sisters soon realized the church’s small space limited the building of a conventional staircase. That’s when a carpenter mysteriously rode in on a donkey and, with only a few tools, built
the stairwell and then left without seek- ing payment. The grand St. Francis Cathedral, remi- niscent of European cathedrals, is just a block off the plaza. Completed in 1886, the Romanesque structure was built where an 18th-century adobe church and the previous 1626 church once stood. The country’s oldest Madonna stands upon the alter—a wooden statue known as “Our Lady of Peace” or “La Conquistadora”— adorned in colorful garb from a wardrobe of more than 200 garments. “The statue was carved well over 600 years ago in Spain, made its way to Mexico, and was brought here to this site in an oxcart in 1625,” explains docent Michael Weigand. “For the community, when you’re troubled, this is where you go. She’s been the mother for all genera- tions. People have grown up on stories of
