Commissioned by Archbishop Jean Baptiste Lamy in the year 1869, the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi exemplifies Romanesque Revival architecture like few structures in the world. One of Santa Fe's most recognizable structures thanks to its handsome design, ornate rose window, captivating main facade, and stunning New-Mexican embellishments. This local landmark houses many religious relics, including the chalice used by Lamy and the oldest Madonna in the United States. Its interiors are as impressive as its exteriors, with exquisite, stained glass windows sourced all the way from France being one of its most eye-catching features. The Blessed Sacrament Chapel, San Damiano Crucifix, and the primary nave are few of the church's other remarkable sights.
