SAN MIGUEL CHURCH
Santa Fe, New Mexico
San Miguel, the oldest church in the United States, is still
used for religious exercises. It was built about 1610 for
the use of the Tlaxcala Indians, servants of the Spaniards
who founded Sante Fe. The earliest documentary evidence
so far discovered is 1628. During the Pueblo Uprising in
1680 the roof and the early records were burned. The
walls were left intact. When the Spaniards returned with
Don Diego de Vargas in 1693, temporary repairs were
made. The Marquis of Penuela completed repairs in 1710.
