Bishop Jean Lamy commissioned this Gothic Revival-style chapel. It was completed in the 1880s. The stained glass window was made in Paris, France, and delivered to Santa Fe in a covered wagon. The most outstanding feature of the chapel is the famous Miraculous Staircase. The circular staircase winds its way from the floor of the chapel to the choir loft above. The chapel no longer belongs to the Catholic Church. It is a private museum and there is a gift shop on the premises. Admission: USD2.

You must visit the Miraculous Staircase
I loved the staircase. Not only is it beautiful, but the story behind it is wonderful! Well worth the visit and the minimal entry fee.
