San Felipe de Neri Catholic Church is located on the north side of old town plaza, filling the entire north side. It still has services and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built in 1793 and is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the city and the only building in Old Town proven to date to the Spanish colonial period. A grand place to visit, even if you are not a Catholic. Be sure to stop in at the gift shop and museum. Profits from there help support the parish work.
Parking is in the general lot for old town or metered on the street.

This is the oldest building in Albuquerque and has been in continuous service since 1706. This site would be most enjoyable for history buffs and those interested in religion. The church has been beautifully restored and maintained. There is a small museum which contains beautiful 19th century vestments, other religious objects, and photos and documents from earlier years. All of this is on the site of a former convent whose foundress Sister Blandina is being considered for sainthood. There is a well stocked gift shop which has religious articles and books for sale. The grounds outside are very well maintained. We returned for daily Mass which was beautiful. The music was particularly well done. All the selections were in both English and Spanish. After Mass we were able to enter the Guadalupe Chapel which is not open to the public except at Mass. there was a beautiful picture over the altar as well as a gold tabernacle which was part of the churches early collection.

In the center of any good Spanish City is a beautiful church and Albuquerque is no different. San Felipe is a beautiful 300 year old adobe style church at the center of Old Town directly across from the square. Unfortunately, we did not have time to participate in the tour of the building. However, we did get to go inside for a prayer and a glimpse of a beautiful structure. Whether the school, convent or church, San Felipe was the center of early life in Old Town Albuquerque and should be on the top of any visit to the city.

As one of the oldest buildings in the city and the only one proven to date from the Spanish colonial period, this church is definitely worth inspecting. Take particular note of the combination of architectural styles which demonstrate the various improvements and reconstructions -- Victorian and Gothic motifs embellish the traditional adobe structure, inside and out. A large gift shop at the entrance contains a wide variety of Catholic miscellanies.

Built in 1793 by Fray Manuel Moreno to replace the original 1706 mission church, it is one of the oldest buildings in the city. This impressive adobe church dates back to the Spanish colonial period but today presents a conflux of architectural styles. Inside, the church is somewhat plain, but still maintains a reverential, solemn presence. Ancillary buildings on site include the Rectory, Our Lady of the Angels School and Sister Blandina Convent. There’s an impressive garden here complete with a painting of the Virgin de Guadalupe, carved into a tree trunk.

This beautiful adobe Spanish style church is the key feature of the Old Town plaza. It is rich with history and was built to withstand floods (five foot walls). Visit the inner courtyards which are peaceful.

Beautiful church with a long history in Albuquerque. On our High Noon Public History, Legends & Lore Tour of Old Town, our guide provides some history of this remarkable church over the years. She also shares intriguing story of Sister Blanding, who had the two story convent built and her role in educating boys and girls in Albuquerque. Some fun tales of her, too.
The church can be entered through the Gift Shop in the Convent. Beautiful church inside. Glad we visited.

This historic church has been the center of Albuquerque since 1706. It is still an active church. The architecture is Adobe style and lovely inside and out. We were fortunate to be able to go inside and walk around, since Mass was not being held. The grounds are beautiful as well. Vendors were set up adjacent to the property and it was interesting to stroll and see what they had to offer.

We've visited this fabulous church before, but unfortunately, it was closed to the public the entire week of our visit this time (not sure why). So our friends were unable to see the interior, which is a must-see. Old Town is still well worth a visit, just not quite the same if you can't go inside the church.

This church is on the main square in the center of Old Town Albuquerque and is beautiful to look at with interesting architecture. It's the oldest church in Albuquerque, built in 1706 and continuously operating since then. The Old Town is a great area to take time to stroll around, and the church definitely adds to the experience.
