The Sangre de Cristo Mountains are to the east. The Jemez Mountains are to the west and the Sandia Mountains are to the south. This is the setting for Santa Fe, the capital of the state of New Mexico. At 7,199 feet above sea level, it the highest state capital in the United States.
The diversity of the city can be seen in everything from the cultural arts to the culinary arts. It is a city of great art galleries, quaint gift shops and some of the best restaurants to be found anywhere.
In 1958, the city passed an ordinance stating that all new or rebuilt buildings must exhibit a Spanish Territorial or Pueblo style of architecture. By passing this ordinance the city has assured itself of a cohesiveness of style unknown by few other cities in the United States.
So if you want an experience rich with history, culture, beauty and culinary delights then Santa Fe is a place you must visit.
