La Morada de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe
La Morada de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, Religious sanctuary in Taos County, United States.
The Morada features adobe walls, wooden beams, and traditional New Mexican architectural elements spread across its main structure and grounds.
Land for the Morada was granted between 1797 and 1798 by Taos Pueblo officials, with construction completed in 1834 under Padre Antonio José Martínez.
The sanctuary holds deep connections to the Penitentes brotherhood, who maintained Spanish Catholic practices through religious studies and ceremonial gatherings.
While the grounds remain open to visitors during daylight hours, the interior spaces require special permission for access from religious authorities.
The structure changed ownership multiple times, including a period under the Kit Carson Memorial Foundation before returning to the Catholic Church in 2008.
