These are the remains of a late 1500’s Spanish Mission Church at the Abo section of the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. You can imagine how impressive it was rising six stories high over the pueblos on the high desert south of Albuquerque. There were three different pueblo mission churches served by this single NPS designation and they are about 20 miles apart. I really was deeply moved by this place, not sure why but I was.
