Look no further for the oldest continuously occupied building built by Europeans in the United States. North end of the public square and a former capitol building for the New Mexico territory. Worth a visit due to how old it is.
Had a great time buying jewelry from the local benders on the street
Very nice visit seen lots of Amazing local jewelry and the people here were very nice.
Essential stop for weekend visitors seeking to purchase jewelry and art created by artisans from local pueblos.
Lots of homemade goods sold here. Good to browse around and admire true talent.
The one and only place to see America's finest Indian market, spread out on the Palace grounds. Make sure to check out my friend Ross Lewallen's gallery across the street, too.
We actually did not have time to tour the palace but did purchase jewelry directly from the Native Americans in the outdoor portal of the palace. It was wonderful to talk to the local artists and the jewelry, pottery, weavings, etc. were awesome and authentic. Santa Fe is a wonderful vibrant town & we want to return when we have more time.
In Sante Fe you must go here and buy your souvenir from one of the many local Indians who hand craft with pride their jewelry. I bought two peices, both gave me their card. Everyone friendly when you engaged, otherwise quite.
Great for photos too.
It is always fun to walk through this area and see what the vendors are offering. They have a good selection of items and some of the items are beautiful. Just because they are selling their wares on a blanket on the ground doesn't mean these are costume or cheap. In fact some of the items were on the expensive side. If nothing else walk through and enjoy the view.
I love history museums. This place was decent, though not very kid friendly. Upside: I learned a lot! Downside: there were more "information boards" than great artifacts. In fact, many of the artifacts were simply samples of what things might have been.
