Description
Photograph of the exterior view of Mission Santa Guadalupe (or Santuario De Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe), Santa Fe, New Mexico, ca.1883. The dilapidated mission stands at about three-stories tall. Parts of the bell tower still remain to the left of center. Much of the roof is flat (or deteriorated). A wall is visible at left in front of a one-story building towards the background. "Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe: built between 1776 and 1796 at the end of El Camino Real by Franciscan missionaries, this is believed to be the oldest shrine in the United States honoring the Virgin of Guadalupe, the patron saint of Mexico. Better known as Santuario de Guadalupe, the shrine's adobe walls are almost 3 feet thick, and the deep-red plaster wall behind the altar was dyed with oxblood in traditional fashion when the church was restored earlier in this century." -- Frommer's Santa Fe, Taos & Albuquerque, 9th Edition.
