The original mission was destroyed during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and rebuilt in 1706, only to be destroyed again during the Taos Revolt of 1847.
The mission was built in the traditional adobe style, which is characteristic of the Spanish colonial architecture found throughout New Mexico.
The ruins are located within the Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States.
The mission was a central place of worship and community gathering for the Taos Pueblo people, blending Catholic and indigenous spiritual practices.
The mission and its surrounding area have inspired numerous artists, including the famous painter Georgia O'Keeffe, who captured the essence of the region in her works.
