Santa Fe Historic District (OldTown)

"PLAZA AND DOWNTOWN Spend some time in the original city center! From the historic Plaza to the oldest church in the United States to the Palace of the Governors, downtown Santa Fe is full of stories and classic architecture, much of which is now inhabited by eclectic restaurants, galleries, boutiques, bookstores, museums, and world-class hotels. Walk along the Santa Fe River, peek in on the unique New Mexico State Capitol—the only circular state capitol building in the United States—known as the Roundhouse, and take a tour of the New Mexico Capitol Art Collection. Be sure to visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, a testament to the 20th century artist’s enchantment with Northern New Mexico, and Santa Fe’s with her". (www.santafe.org)

The Historic Distirct (OldTown) as you can see on the map is compact and full of attractions to visit, shops, galleries to enjoy, hotels and restrauants and the plueblo architecture style. At it's center is the Plaza Square which is the focal point. Old Town extends westward to the RailRoad District. The Saturday Market at the Railyard is a "must do" activity. It aslo is where the local lightrail Rail Runner train station is located. Sant Fe is the capital of New Mexico, the capital building with its collection of New Mexican Art is also well worth visiting.
