Search Santa Fe New Mexico

A Santa Fe landmark, this Gothic chapel features a "miraculous" staircase built by a mystery carpenter who appeared in answer to the nuns' prayers for a much-needed staircase to the choir loft. According to legend, it was St. Joseph who appeared and, after completing the beautiful spiral staircase, disappeared completely without pay. The chapel is also a romantic setting for weddings; adjacent gift shop offers carved angels, crucifixes, religious icons.
