Early Spanish explorers thought the pueblo was one of seven golden cities scattered throughout New Mexican land.


It was quickly rebuilt and lasted until 1847 when the US Army destroyed it again during the War with Mexico.

A lone bell tower stands amidst a graveyard of crosses, a reminder of the past and a warning for the future.

They practice both Catholicism and ancient indigenous religious rites inside of the chapel.

Taos Pueblo is located near Taos, New Mexico, off of 120 Veterans Highway. It is a must-see destination for any traveler interested in the history of the United States and places of worship. Not to mention, the views are spectacular!
