OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE CHURCH & SHRINE Built in 1781 along the Santa Fe River just west of the Plaza, the historic Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe church is considered the oldest shrine honoring of our Lady of Guadalupe in the United States. Home to a small art and history museum, the old adobe Santuario houses a collection of traditional New Mexican santos (carved images of the saints) as well as classic paintings from both the Italian Renaissance and Mexican baroque periods, including one of the largest and finest oil paintings of the Spanish Southwest, painted by Jose de Alzibar in 1783, one of Mexico's most renowned painters. www.ologsf.com THE STATUE OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE Walk the Living Rosary stones, enjoy the rose gardens, and visit the Statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe, dedicated December 12, 2008 by Archbishop Michael Sheehan who noted "if the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis is the heart of Santa Fe, then the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe is the soul of Santa Fe". GUADALUPE BARRIO Numerous and varied images of Our Lady of Guadalupe can be found throughout the Guadalupe Barrio in the heart of the 400-year-old in capitol city of New Mexico. Throughout the neighborhood and region, she can be see on on mailboxes, entryways, windows, storefronts, gates, and garages (even automobiles and motorcycles).
