Ranchos de Taos, situated in the Taos County in New Mexico, is a census-designated place. The main population in Rancho de Taos mainly comprises of the Whites, Native Americans, African Americans, Asians, and Pacific Islanders. Rancho de Taos is mainly known for its San Francisco de Assisi Church.
This Church is an icon of Spanish Colonial Architecture. This old adobe Spanish Mission Church is just a few miles south of central Taos. In fact, it is one of the most painted buildings in the world and has been a great inspiration to artists like photographer Ansel Adams and painter Georgia O’Keefe.
The Rancho de Taos Church is made of sun dried mud bricks with a layer of mud stucco. Annulled of doors and windows, the beautiful adobe walls provide a simple form of freeform shape against a big sky background. Rancho de Taos has a lot to offer but the Church in this town is a “must-see”.
