The City of Art – Santa Fe, New Mexico 🎨✨

Santa Fe, New Mexico – I first heard about this place from my dentist! 🦷😄 Every time I went for a check-up, we’d chat for a few minutes (so different from the more reserved style of doctors in Asia!). He was planning a vacation to Santa Fe, and though I knew nothing about it back then, our conversation stuck with me. That was two years ago, and now I finally had the chance to explore this city properly! Santa Fe is one of the top five art capitals in the world—even though it’s tucked away “in the middle of nowhere” 😉. It’s packed with culture, history, and creative energy. Highlights include: ⛪ The historic Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, which houses the oldest Marian statue in the United States—carved in Spain in the 1400s and brought to Santa Fe in 1625. 🖼️ The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum – she’s the highest-selling female artist in history; one of her works recently sold for $44 million! 🏞️ Fascinating national monuments like Bandelier, where ancient Pueblo people lived in cliff dwellings. To this day, it’s still a mystery exactly how they lived and survived there. Visitors can climb ladders and crawl into caves to get a glimpse of their world! Whether you’re an art lover, history enthusiast, or adventure seeker, Santa Fe will surprise you. Can’t wait to go back and discover more! ❤️🌵 #SantaFe #NewMexico #ArtCapital #TravelUSA #CulturalGem #GeorgiaOKeeffe #HistoricLandmarks #PuebloCulture #ArtLovers #HiddenTreasure #Wanderlust #ExploreTheUnknown #USArtScene #DesertBeauty
