La Loma Plaza Historic District, Historic district in Taos, United States.
The La Loma Plaza Historic District extends across 11 acres and contains numerous colonial and pueblo-style adobe buildings arranged around a central plaza.
Spanish settlers constructed La Loma Plaza in 1795 with shared walls and solid adobe outer structures to protect against attacks from Plains Indians.
The San Antonio church, built within the plaza and blessed by Archbishop Lamy in 1876, represents the religious traditions of early Spanish settlers.
Located just blocks from central Taos Plaza, the district provides accommodations at the Inn on La Loma Plaza with gourmet breakfast and modern amenities.
The district maintains its original water wells and pasture areas where residents kept livestock, preserving the agricultural heritage of early settlers.
