Established around 1772, this church is one of the most known and photographed of all missions in the American Southwest. Made by the Spanish colonists, this handcrafted real adobe building houses twin bell towers and an arched portal entrance overlooking a enclosed courtyard. Still an active parish, its a must to see when exploring Taos.
