Martinez Hacienda, Spanish Colonial house in Taos, United States
Martinez Hacienda features thick adobe walls surrounding two interior courtyards with twenty-one rooms arranged in a protective fortress configuration without exterior windows.
Built in 1804 by Don Antonio Severino Martinez after relocating from Abiquiu to Taos, this hacienda expanded from four rooms as its owner gained prominence.
The property functioned as both a residence and trading post, marking the northernmost point of the Spanish El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro trade route.
The hacienda operates as a museum with demonstrations of blacksmithing, weaving, and woodcarving, showcasing traditional Spanish colonial crafts and daily activities.
The Martinez family maintained a five-square-mile agricultural empire, employing Navajo and Ute workers to cultivate crops and manage livestock operations.
