EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the exterior of the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, a magnificent architectural masterpiece located in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Built in the late 19th century under the supervision of Jean Baptiste Lamy, the first Archbishop of Santa Fe, this Roman Catholic Church is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States. The circular design of the cathedral, with its distinctive red-brick walls and intricate stone carvings, reflects the unique blend of Native American, Spanish, and European influences that characterize Santa Fe's architecture. The central feature of the facade is the large rose window, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, which bathes the interior in a warm, natural light. The towering bell tower, topped with a cross, dominates the skyline and serves as a beacon for visitors and pilgrims alike. The lampposts that line the streets surrounding the cathedral add to its charm and create a romantic, otherworldly atmosphere, particularly during the city's famous Festival of the Arts. The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi is not only a place of worship but also a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the world who are drawn to its beauty, history, and spiritual significance. This photograph captures the essence of this remarkable building, inviting us to explore its many wonders and to reflect on the enduring power of faith and tradition.
