Palace of the Governors, Santa Fe

Built by the Spanish conquerors in the 1600s, this building is now on the list of American Treasures and is a Registered National Historic Landmark. It houses the most extensive museum collection, spanning the history of Santa Fe and the Southwest. Native Americans ply their arts and crafts outside the building facing the central Plaza, just as they have for over 400 years. Jewelry, pottery, kachinas and more are spread out on blankets for you to admire and purchase. This is wholesale shopping at its best, so be sure to check it out.
