Sedona's Spiritual Sanctuaries

Sedona's red rock landscape serves as a backdrop for diverse religious architecture and spiritual retreats. The Chapel of the Holy Cross, a 1950s modernist structure, is integrated directly into the sandstone buttes. Buddhist traditions are represented by the Amitabha and Tara Stupas, situated within a 14-acre peace park. Local landmarks include the Tlaquepaque Chapel, inspired by traditional Mexican village design, and the Wayside Chapel, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding geological formations from its pulpit window.
