Santa Fe County Must-Sees

Santa Fe County showcases centuries of history through the adobe architecture of the San Miguel Mission and the prehistoric cliff dwellings at Tsankawi Ruins. The downtown Plaza serves as a historic hub near the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi and the Loretto Chapel's mysterious spiral staircase. Art enthusiasts can explore the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, the high-density gallery district of Canyon Road, and the immersive installations at Meow Wolf. Cultural heritage is preserved at the Museum of International Folk Art and the living history exhibits of El Rancho de las Golondrinas.
