Jemez Historic Site, Ancient Pueblo ruins in Jemez Valley, New Mexico, US.
The historic site contains a 17th-century Spanish colonial church with eight-foot-thick stone walls and remnants of a 200-room Native American settlement.
Spanish missionaries constructed San José de los Jémez Mission by 1621, but the site was abandoned during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 when natives expelled Spanish settlers.
The Gíusewa Pueblo settlement includes rectangular kivas rather than circular ones, demonstrating the distinct architectural practices of the Jemez people.
Located on State Route 4 north of Jemez Springs, the site offers interpretive trails and operates Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM.
The limestone church structure measures 110 feet in length and incorporates traditional mud plaster techniques alongside sandstone and volcanic tuff materials.
