The San Francisco de Assisi Mission Church in Ranchos de Taos (pop. 2,390) is among the most photographed and painted in the Southwest. Artist Georgia O’Keeffe and photographer Ansel Adams were inspired by its buttressed walls and its sculptural form of adobe and wood. Built between 1772 and 1816, the church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
