This photo shows the Loretto Chapel, a famous fixture of Santa Fe. It was originally built in the 1800s to house the Sisters of Loretto. Inside the Chapel is the Miraculous Staircase, which legend says was constructed or inspired by St. Joseph the Carpenter and was built sometime between 1877 and 1881. It took at least six months to build, and has two 360 degree turns with no visible means of support.
