Churches are some of New Mexico's favorite forms of architechture. Espanola and surrounding areas have some of the beautifulist churches in the country. Some of these churches are known around the world, such as the Santuario, which is located only ten miles east of Espanola. One of the newest churches in the Espanola area is located right in the center of Espanola's down town plaza, the Convento. |

While businesses usually use a standard form of architecture, you might find that in New Mexico businesses almost have a Southwestern or even New Mexico theme to them. Take "The Super 8 Motel" or "Valley National Bank" for instance, the were built use such traditional techniques as indian style roofing, brown stucoed adobe walls, and vigas. But not all businesses in Espanola share that same style. |
