St. Francis Cathedral

The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, to be more accurate. We walked past many times over our two day stay and late one afternoon I wandered inside to see the sun streaming in the rose window.

The church dates mainly to the 1870s - fairly recent compared to much of the architecture around Santa Fe.  The stubby towers are apparently the result of fundraising problems - money ran out before the tall steeples that were originally planned could be completed.
