What could be more iconic of the Taos area than the St. Francis de Assisi Church in Ranchos de Taos? Painted by every artist in the area at least once, including Georgia O’Keefe.
San Francisco de Asís Mission Church is a historic and architecturally significant church on the main plaza of Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico. Built between 1772 and 1816 when New Mexico was part of the Vice-Royalty of New Spain, it is one of the finest extant examples of a Spanish Colonial New Mexico mission church, and is a popular subject for photographers. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1970.
