Santa Fe | New Mexico | Loretto Chapel | Hanging Staircase | Miraculous Churches | Sightseeing in Santa Fe
The Loretto Chapel in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico is home to the famous miraculous hanging staircase. The
staircase appears to stand freely without falling over. Unfortunately, we were unable to climb it due to safety
concerns, but just looking at it is truly amazing. It was built by an unknown carpenter in about 1873 and is said to
be a true miracle and a blessing to the church.

Do you believe in miracles?
This staircase, located in the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is said to be a miracle. The staircase has
been standing for over 140 years, yet it has no means of structural support. It is also interesting to know that the
structure is held together by wooden pegs. There's so much more to see in Santa Fe during a visit - we didn't have
nearly enough time. The Old Town is filled with historic sites from the frontier of both US and Mexico.
