& Attractions
Taos Plaza offers
a number of shops and galleries that have something for every taste.
Browse boutiques that feature Native American drums and moccasins,
Southwestern attire and jewelry, ceramics, dried goods, books and
more! Park in the nearby community lot and stroll on to Guadalupe
Plaza and Paseo del Pueblo Norte for more fine stores.
Just east of the Plaza is the Kit Carson Road, which offers specialty
galleries housed in centuries-old buildings. The Kit Carson Home and
Museum is a complex of buildings that include a portion of the original
four room home of Kit Carson and his wife Josefa. There is an 1855,
three-room structure known as the Romero House, and two, 1952 structures
that house the museum's retail shop and additional exhibition space.
The focal point of the plaza is San Francisco de Asis Church, which
was completed in 1815. It offers one of the best examples of Franciscan
Old World architecture combined with New World building techniques.
Both Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keeffe were inspired by the church
and featured it in their artwork.
