San Gabriel de Yungue-Ouinge
San Gabriel de Yungue-Ouinge, Spanish colonial archaeological site in Española, New Mexico, United States.
The site stands at the meeting point of Rio Chama and Rio Grande rivers, marking the location of an early Spanish settlement.
In 1598, Governor Juan de Oñate established this location as the first capital of the Spanish territory of Santa Fe de Nuevo México.
Ten Franciscan priests constructed a church from volcanic tuff, introducing Spanish religious practices to the local Pueblo communities.
A memorial cross marks the former settlement location, accessible from New Mexico State Road 74, approximately 25 miles north of Santa Fe.
Archaeological excavations uncovered military barracks and structures that demonstrate the initial interactions between Spanish colonizers and Pueblo residents.
