Taos Pueblo requests that visitors abide by the following rules:
1. Please pay the appropriate fee for each camera you carry into the Pueblo area.
2. Please respect the “restricted area” signs as they protect the privacy of our residents and the sites of our native religious practices.
3. Do not enter doors that are not clearly marked as curio shops. Each home is privately owned and occupied by a family and is not a museum display to be inspected with curiosity.
4. Please do not photograph members of our tribe without first asking permission.
5. Absolutely no photography in San Geronimo Chapel.
6. Do not enter the walls surrounding the ruins of the old church and our cemetery.
7. Do not wade in our river — our sole source of drinking water.

San Francisco de Asis Church
60 St Francis Plaza
505-758-2754
No trip to Taos is complete without a trip to the San Francisco de Asis Church. Constructed sometime between 1710 and 1755, this heavily buttressed structure is 120 feet long. Inside, the whitewashed walls contrast with dark-stained vigas and are adorned with images of saints, art and a large Crist figure and pictorial reredos dating back the founding of the church. Instead of stained glass, two plain glass windows illuminate the alter from either side. And not to be missed is Henri Ault’s famous panting “The Shadow of the Cross” which hangs in the rectory. It is said that in certain light, you can see Christ carrying a cross but in other, the cross is invisible.
