Brief DescriptionHistoric Chapel, Home of the Miraculous Staircase
TypeAttraction
CategoryHistoric Site
DescriptionOne of the foremost tourist attractions in Santa Fe, the Loretto Chapel was built in 1878.

Inside the Gothic structure is the staircase referred to as miraculous, inexplicable, marvelous and is sometimes called St. Joseph’s Staircase. The stairway confounds architects, engineers and master craftsmen. It makes over two complete 360-degree turns, stands 20’ tall and has no center support. It rests solely on its base and against the choir loft. The risers of the 33 steps are all of the same height. Made of an apparently extinct wood species, it was constructed with only square wooden pegs without glue or nails.
