The Rosario Chapel

Santa Fe, NM, 1692 & 1914

Rosario Chapel, at the back of Rosario Cemetery in Santa Fe, stands on the traditional site of Don Diego de Vargas's 1692 camp, where he is said to have vowed to honor the Virgin Mary (La Conquistadora) if he could retake the city after the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. The original sanctuary was later replaced by the present adobe chapel, begun in 1807 and enlarged in 1914.
