Albuquerque, New Mexico

The Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe (in Spanish, Capilla de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe) is tucked away among the shops of historic Old Town Albuquerque. It is said to be the smallest church in Albuquerque, and was constructed by Sister Giotto to commemorate the Virgin Mary's miraculous appearance to Juan Diego near Mexico City in 1531.
