San Felipe de Neri Church stands as a landmark of Albuquerque's founding, built in 1793 on the site of an earlier chapel. Its massive adobe walls and twin bell towers exemplify Spanish mission architecture. Inside, visitors find a peaceful sanctuary with hand-carved wooden altar pieces and religious art. The church remains an active parish, hosting daily Mass and community events. Its courtyard garden offers a quiet retreat from the bustling Old Town plaza.
