Ruins of Nuestra Senora de La Purisima Concepcion de Cuarac Iglesia, Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, Manzano Land Grant, Torrance County, New Mexico USA
Out with the Photo Marauders, Enchanted Lens Camera Club… the historic south east side of the Manzano Mountains in Torrance County…
The three Salinas Pueblo ruins inspire awe, wonder and trigger reflection on the regional history and culture... This imposing sandstone and adobe Catholic Church (45 ft. (13.7 m) tall) at the Quarai Pueblo site was completed in 1629 and first abandoned in 1677. The history of this structure and the early Spanish presence and Native American Pueblos and people in this region in New Mexico is fascinating and worth study before you go.
